QDoc is a clinical data-gathering tool, intended for use in behavioral parent training (BPT). Currently this app provides just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) through daily surveys which prompt response from a behavioral health provider; this version aims to help parents of children with ADHD and other disruptive behaviors by providing meaningful “real life” context for the skills learned in BPT. JITAI can help caregivers capitalize on the support, corrections, and help with barriers, that they receive during weekly meetings.)
