BUILT Family Lifestyle Program for Children with ADHD
Sponsor: University of Illinois at Chicago
Summary
The investigators have developed BUILT in hopes of empowering families to adopt and sustain healthy food, sleep, and exercise routines that optimize child focus, attention, and behavior. Over 6-weeks, the BUILT program will explore what science says about the effects of sleep, nutrition, and exercise on brain development and behavior; investigate the food, sleep, and exercise routines of the world's best athletes and intellectuals; and experiment with home routines to find those that best fits with participating families. It is hypothesized that families participating in BUILT (N=150) will show significant improvements in child health behaviors (sleep, nutrition, physical activity, recreational screen time), child mental health (ADHD symptoms \[primary outcome\], child functional impairment), child physical literacy, and family dynamics (cohesion, structure, communication) from baseline to posttest.
