Intervention: Non-pharmacological school-based interventions for children and young people with ADHD
Who it was tested with: Children and young people with ADHD aged 5-17 years.
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"Seven databases were searched until 2nd of October 2026. The review followed the PRISMA guidelines... only 16 studies were included in our analysis as they met our inclusion criteria: a) CYP with ADHD aged 5-17 years old; b) school-based interventions; c) randomized controlled trials; and d) educational outcomes." The review used rigorous methods to synthesise evidence from randomised trials, representing the highest tier of evidence, though the inconclusive overall findings reflect substantial heterogeneity in what works.
High heterogeneity across studies; only 16 studies met inclusion criteria from 2164 identified; specific intervention types and mechanisms not fully differentiated in analysis.
