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:
Students at three universities (n = 106; 72.6% female; M age = 22.21; 86.7% White; 91.5% Not Hispanic or Latina/e/o) presented for ADHD treatment.
Method:
Six group sessions and three individual sessions were delivered via 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).
