School clinician training and ADHD/ODD support program for children in Mexico (CLS-A-FUERTE)
Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial of a School Clinician Training and Psychosocial ADHD/ODD Intervention Program Adapted for Schools across Mexico (CLS-A-FUERTE)
This project gives school clinicians in Mexico classroom-friendly training and digital tools to help children with ADHD and oppositional defiant behaviors do better at school.

What this research studies
If your child takes part, clinicians at participating schools will be trained to deliver the Collaborative Life Skills program, delivered either in person or with extra digital supports. Schools are grouped and compared across 40 schools so the team can see how well each approach helps children’s behavior and school functioning. The researchers will also study how the program brings about change and test ways to adapt the program so schools can keep using it long-term. Families and school staff may be asked to complete brief questionnaires and teachers will track classroom behavior over the school year.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Children in participating Mexican schools—typically elementary-school-aged children (roughly ages 5–11) with symptoms of ADHD and/or oppositional defiant behaviors—and their school clinicians are the ideal participants.
Not a fit: Children who do not have ADHD/ODD symptoms or who do not attend one of the participating schools are unlikely to directly benefit from this trial.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could improve classroom behavior and school functioning for children with ADHD/ODD by giving school clinicians practical training and digital resources.
How similar studies have performed: Earlier smaller studies of the Collaborative Life Skills program, including a digitally enhanced version, showed feasibility, acceptability, and initial positive effects, and this project scales that work up.
