Model description
The New Forest Parenting Programme (NFPP) serves parents with a child age 3 through 10 years with moderate to severe symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The HomVEE review included only studies of NFPP that focused on sites serving families with children ages 3 through 5 years. NFPP is designed to support children’s mental health and well-being by providing parents with strategies to help their children manage their attention, behaviors, and impulses. Specifically, the model aims to help children regulate their own behavior; improve their concentration; and reduce inattentiveness, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and defiant behavior. During eight weekly visits of 1 to 1.5 hours’ duration, home visitors educate parents on the symptoms and signs of ADHD and strategies for managing their child’s behavior and attention difficulties. Home visitors teach some of these strategies through games designed to engage children’s attention, encourage their patience, and increase their concentration. The home visitor observes the parent and child playing the games together and provides feedback on the quality of their interaction.

Summary of findings
When a model has no manuscripts that report high- or moderate-rated findings, HomVEE does not report research findings.
Implementation
HomVEE only publishes detailed model implementation profiles for reviewed models that have well-designed research (high- or moderate-quality rating) according to HomVEE’s published procedures and standards.
