Improving healthcare information for young people with ADHD in general practice: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that can have poor long-term outcomes when unmanaged. Young people aged 16-25 years with ADHD are often unable to access specialist health care as recommended by UK guidelines because of gaps in services, poor transitional support between child and adult services, and long waiting lists. Healthcare information, which is important for condition management, may help mitigate service gaps and support thriving in people with ADHD; however, little is known about provision via primary care.

Aim

To investigate experiences of information provision supporting management of young people with ADHD in general practice and explore the potential of digital resources.
