Brief Summary:
This study develops an initial prototype of a mobile tool that will support clinician-directed behavioral/organizational skills treatment for adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with input guided from key stakeholders.
Detailed Description:
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood mental health disorders, affecting 7-9% of children and adolescents, and leading to substantial impairment in adolescence. Despite evidence suggesting that behavioral interventions are efficacious, approximately 40-60% of adolescents receiving behavioral treatment show little to no improvement and skills are rarely generalized beyond treatment sessions. Lack of adolescent motivation and engagement, between-session skills use, reward saliency, and family involvement are key contributors to these limited effects. Mobile digital health (dHealth) strategies and gamification techniques, offer unique opportunities for overcoming the barriers of treatments specific to ADHD by using interactive tools to reinforce in-vivo skill practice, providing opportunities for immediate reinforcement, and motivating adolescents with digital rewards. The primary goal of this study is to develop and preliminarily test the integration of a digital health tool into organizational/behavioral skills treatment for adolescents with ADHD by improving executive functioning skills, providing in-vivo skills reinforcement, and monitoring adolescents' skill utilization. The proposed research will use an iterative stakeholder-centered design to develop, refine, and preliminarily test a novel digital health tool, applied as an adjunct to behavioral treatment for adolescents with ADHD (ages 11-15). This includes focus groups with key stakeholders and an open preliminary feasibility trial and usability testing. Data collected from focus groups will inform what content and features could be developed to overcome challenges to adolescent engagement and parent involvement. During the open trial (N=20) we will assess intervention feasibility, usability, and acceptability. During and after the clinical trial, we will collect continuous feedback from users on the usability and utility of the tool. At the end of this study we will complete debugging and programming to maximize usability before a future larger clinical trial.
