Focus groups to identify treatment needs and barriers to participation in the planned multinutrient study among racially and ethnically diverse (Black and Hispanic) communities.
Focus group purpose is to understand parents' priorities regarding their child's mental health, and facilitators or barriers to research participation generally, with inquiry about CIH intervention use, and the multinutrient feasibility study specifically. Researchers will engage Black and Hispanic families in focus groups to discuss mental health priorities related to their children, and real or perceived barriers to engagement in research studies. The feedback will inform the final design and recruitment for the multinutrient feasibility study in Black and Hispanic populations. One group will comprise individuals who self-identify as Hispanic, another, as Black, in order to create space to hear perspectives that may differ between broadly defined groups.

Black or Hispanic/Latino parents, caregivers or family members of children with ADHD symptoms and/or emotional dysregulation, will discuss: (1) impact of child's mental health, treatments, care received; (2) perceived and actual barriers to future study participation, including discussion about acceptability of bio-specimen collection methods for urine and blood. Each group will comprise individuals who self-identify as Hispanic/Latino, Black, or mixed race. Groups are anticipated to comprise individuals who identify with one or the the other race/ethnicity in order to create space to hear perspectives that may differ between these broadly defined groups.
