HOPS Study: A Conceptual Replication

Description

The purpose of this current study is to conduct a conceptual replication with an independent evaluation team of the randomized controlled trial conducted by Langberg and colleagues, which demonstrated the efficacy of the Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) intervention. The study will be conducted under routine practice conditions with school staff serving as interventionists; the study sample will include the broad range of students with organization, time management, and planning problems. The study will examine how implementation factors (fidelity, engagement, working alliance) are related to outcomes, and it will explore the potential moderating role of school organization factors on outcomes.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Male or female students in grades 6 through 8.
  • 2. Student is in a general education classroom.
  • 3. Student is nominated for the study by at least one teacher(s) who rates the student as needing the intervention and having OTMP skills deficits that have a negative impact on academic performance (rating \> 3 on a 4-point scale on at least one of four interference items of COSS-T)
  • 4. Parental/guardian permission (informed consent) and student assent.
  • 1. The parent/legal guardian's child is eligible for the study
  • 1. School providers will be chosen by school administrators as personnel who are capable of delivering the HOPS intervention (HOPS-ST) in the school context.
  • 1. A person with experience providing instruction or intervention to students in a school context.
  • 2. A member of the research team who will provide the HOPS intervention to the HOPS-RT condition
  • 3. Has consented to be a "secondary research participant"
  • 1. Students will be excluded if they are in a pull-out special education classroom for more than 50% of the day, because the organizational demands for these students may differ from those placed mostly in general education.
  • 2. Students with a one-to-one aide will be excluded because the presence of an aide substantially alters how an organizational intervention is implemented.
  • 3. Students from families in which both caregivers do not speak English will be excluded because the program has not yet been developed for non-English speakers.
  • 4. Students who may have participated in HOPS before (as it is a commercially-available program) is not eligible to participate in this study.
  • 1. Parents who are not fluent in English are excluded since at this time because the intervention and many of the study outcome measures are not available in other languages.
  • 1. Any school professional who declines to participate will not be enrolled.
  • 1. Does not consent to be a "secondary research participant"
