Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that often persist to adulthood. In Malaysia, the Chinese ethnic is having the highest prevalence rate of hyperactivity symptoms. Nevertheless, there are only limited evidence-based treatment options targeting the core symptoms of ADHD, as well as executive functions in adulthood. In addition, conventional psychotherapeutic approaches for adults with ADHD have found to be highly labor-intensive. Emerging adulthood is a distinct developmental stage of 18 - 29 years old, with unique challenges that rarely addressed in mental health system. Recently, mindfulness-based intervention appears to be a promising treatment for adults living with ADHD but it has not been evaluated among Malaysian emerging adults with ADHD. The investigators proposed a two-arm randomized controlled trial, comparing an eight-week online mindfulness-based intervention program with an online introductory psychology program. The outcomes include changes of inattention symptom, changes of hyperactivity-impulsivity symptom, and changes of executive functions from pretest to posttest, 1-month follow-up and 3-month follow-up. To investigators' best knowledge, this randomized controlled trial will be the first to test the efficacious of online mindfulness-based intervention for ADHD among emerging adults. It will provide evidence on the efficacious of online treatment for this often-overlooked population in the mental healthcare system.
