Dataset on the efficacy of combined executive skills training and motivational interviewing for adolescents with ADHD

This dataset originates from a clinical study evaluating the efficacy of combined Executive Skills Training and Motivational Interviewing for adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A total of 225 adolescent participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The dataset contains anonymized assessment data collected before and after the intervention. Primary assessment tools included ADHD-RS，BRIEF, CANTAB, among others. All assessments were conducted by uniformly trained assessors at time points including baseline and post-intervention.Important Usage Restrictions:To strictly protect participant privacy and uphold the study's ethical commitments, this dataset is provided for online preview only, and downloading is prohibited. Its sole permitted use is for peer reviewers and readers to verify the accuracy and authenticity of the results reported in this study. The use of this dataset for any form of secondary analysis, further research, meta-analysis, or any other purpose is strictly prohibited.Procedure for Results Verification:To facilitate the peer-review process while upholding the above restrictions, the underlying data files are not publicly available for download. Peer reviewers or authorized verifiers requiring access to validate the reported findings must make a formal request through the journal's editorial office during the manuscript review process. Upon receiving such a request and verifying its legitimacy, the corresponding author may provide time-limited, view-only access to the data for the sole purpose of verification, via a secure and monitored method (e.g., a secured online session).Data Content and Processing Description:The data file contains one worksheet. Each record represents the pre- and post-intervention assessment data for one participant. Data columns primarily include: 1) a unique anonymous ID; 2) group information (Group); 3) demographic variables (e.g., Age, unit: years); 4) raw scores for various scales and subscales (e.g., ADHD-RS_Inattention, unit: points). If any missing values are present in the data, they are primarily due to a participant's absence at a specific assessment session and are marked as "NA" in the table. The data collection process followed standard operating procedures. Potential errors, mainly arising from the subjective nature of scale assessments, were mitigated through assessor training and the use of validated tools.To ensure privacy, all direct personal identifiers (such as name and national ID number) have been removed. Sensitive information (such as exact date of birth) has been generalized (e.g., only age is retained), ensuring that data cannot be traced back to specific individuals.
