About

Study team members from El Futuro in Durham, North Carolina have created an intervention called El Faro. El Faro helps Latinx families of children with ADHD understand and cope with the stress and difficulties presented by the disorder. We propose to develop a community-engaged research partnership between El Futuro and the Duke ADHD Program that aims to pilot-test an adapted El Faro treatment.
