Randomized trial demonstrates improved ADHD symptoms and executive functioning in college students via telehealth, suggesting effective treatment options.
OBJECTIVE: College students with ADHD often experience academic and life challenges related to executive functioning (EF). Telehealth interventions are generally beneficial for emerging adults, but this claim needs to be tested for ADHD. We examined a telehealth adaptation of a cognitive-behavioral intervention for college students with ADHD that focuses on organizational, time management, and planning (OTMP) skills. PARTICIPANTS: age = 22.21; 86.7% White; 91.5% Not Hispanic or Latina/e/o) presented for ADHD treatment. METHOD: video conferencing software. RESULTS: Pre-post differences in self-report measures indicated positive effects, including improvements in ADHD symptoms, impairment, EF, and use of OTMP skills. CONCLUSIONS: A telehealth adaptation of this intervention may be efficacious; however, additional studies of the intervention are needed (e.g., larger, more diverse samples; randomized controlled trials).
