Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Peer co-led education describes educators who are expert patients, user representatives or former patients, participating and teaching in educational interventions in cooperation with health care professionals. Peer co-led education is included in the Norwegian national guidelines for treatment of mental disorders, but despite some promising results for the treatment of other conditions, still little is known about the efficacy of peer co-led educational group interventions interventions for adults with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

This pilot trial will evaluate patient satisfaction with and preliminary efficacy of a 2-session peer co-led educational group program designed to address specific challenges faced by adults diagnosed with ADHD at an outpatient clinics in mid-Norway.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Educational intervention

Patients randomized to the intervention group will start with a group-based educational program immediately after the randomization.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group-based education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The group-based educational program consists of two sessions that run over two consecutive weeks. Each session consists of a lecture from a recruited expert on the topic of the session and by expert patients with a following discussion of the topic facilitated by the course leader.
