What this research studies
This research investigates a telehealth intervention designed to support preschool children who are at risk for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It focuses on the connection between sleep and ADHD symptoms, aiming to improve both daytime behavior and nighttime sleep through behavioral interventions.

Not a fit: Patients who are older than 11 years or do not exhibit any symptoms of ADHD or sleep issues may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved management of ADHD symptoms in preschool children, enhancing their overall functioning and quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results in using behavioral interventions to improve sleep and ADHD symptoms, indicating that this approach may be effective.
