OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to use a strengths-based approach to determine African American parents' skills and strategies for management of children with ADHD.

RESULTS: Participants discussed several parenting challenges but advocated for the child by working closely with the child's school and physician. They also managed relationships with family members to protect the child from possible physical or emotional harm. However, parents desired more social support for management of ADHD.
CONCLUSION: African American parents possess key skills and strategies in their management of children with ADHD. Further research is needed to determine the roles and responsibilities of extended family members for children with this disorder, and to identify the social supports parents access to aid with ADHD management.
