Demographic Characteristics of Children with ADHD in a Music Therapy Study

39 children aged 5-12 participated in a study comparing music-based and structured occupational therapy interventions. The dataset includes pre- and post-intervention assessments of attention, executive functions, and caregiver burden, collected by Ibrahim Erarslan and last updated in May 2026. It is stored in an XLS file with a size of 5.5 KB.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of music-based versus structured occupational therapy on attention levels based on DSM-V Inattention Scale scores.
• Analyze changes in executive functions in children with ADHD based on BRIEF assessment data.
• Evaluate the impact of therapeutic interventions on caregiver burden based on Zarit Burden Interview scores.
• Study demographic and outcome correlations within a small clinical trial sample.

Strengths

• Includes pre- and post-intervention data for 39 participants, allowing for within-subject analysis.
• Measures three distinct outcomes: child attention, child executive functions, and caregiver burden.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and sample size.
