Caregiver Treatment Preferences for Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

This dataset is the result of an investigation of caregivers’ management and treatment preferences for their ADHD child. From January 2013 through March 2015 a total of 184 caregivers of children 4 to 14 years of age were recruited from primary care, pediatric outpatient clinics, and support organizations in Maryland. The study explored caregiver variability and priorities when considering medication, change in management options over time, and preference for different treatment attributes. Data were collected using Best-Worst scaling and the Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS). This dataset consists of caregiver and child demographic information, child diagnoses and treatment characteristics data, and caregiver preferences with regard to medication and observed and desired improvements in their child’s ADHD.

本数据集为对照顾者对其患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童进行管理和治疗偏好的研究结果的汇总。自2013年1月至2015年3月，共招募了来自马里兰州的初级保健、儿科门诊诊所和支持组织的184名4至14岁儿童的照顾者。研究旨在探究照顾者在考虑药物治疗、随时间变化的管理选项以及不同治疗属性偏好时的个体差异和优先级。数据收集采用了最佳-最差评分法和范德堡注意力缺陷多动障碍诊断家长评分量表（VADPRS）。该数据集包含照顾者和儿童的人口统计学信息、儿童的诊断和治疗特征数据，以及照顾者在药物选择及其儿童ADHD观察到的和期望的改善方面的偏好。
