What this trial studies
The BUILT program aims to empower families to adopt healthy food, sleep, and exercise routines to improve focus and behavior in children with ADHD. Over six weeks, families will engage in online challenges that explore the impact of nutrition, sleep, and physical activity on child development. The program will be co-facilitated by University of Illinois at Chicago students and Chicago Park District staff, with assessments conducted before and after the program to measure improvements in health behaviors and family dynamics.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are children aged 6 to 12 years old who are enrolled in Chicago Park District programming and are free of conditions that limit aerobic activity.
Not a fit: Children younger than 6 or older than 12 years, or those with conditions that preclude aerobic activity, may not benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance the health and behavioral outcomes for children with ADHD and improve family interactions.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with lifestyle interventions for ADHD, suggesting that this approach may be effective.
