Training Inhibitory Control using Personalized Strategies (TIPS) Beta Study – With ADHD Enrolled in a 4-year College/University

STUDY BASICS

Are you an 18-25 year-old with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who is currently enrolled in a 4-year college or university? If so, you may be able to participate in a research study that is developing a smartphone-based intervention to help young adults with ADHD manage behaviors related to their ADHD. Compensation provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

Young adults who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may experience symptoms such as difficulty paying attention and focusing on tasks, trouble sitting still, and acting impulsively. These symptoms can cause problems such as relationship trouble, alcohol or substance use problems, and difficulties in school or work. The purpose of this study is to develop strategies young adults can use to help improve these problems they experience due to ADHD. These strategies will be suggested via smartphone, along with questions and feedback about ADHD symptoms and related behaviors. Researchers hope their findings will help develop the intervention that can help young adults manage ADHD symptoms and related problems in the future.
