Group CBT vs. Activity Group for Adults with ADHD

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this single-blind randomized trial, adults with ADHD are assigned to either a group CBT program based on DBT skills or an active control activity group for an equivalent duration and intensity. The study measures ADHD symptoms, anxiety, depression, and daily functioning before, after treatment, and at 6, 12, and 24 months follow-up. Therapists with similar experience deliver both interventions to ensure dose equivalence. Outcomes will indicate if group CBT provides added benefit over non-therapeutic activity components when combined with standard care. The trial addresses whether a psychological intervention can yield longer-term improvements beyond medication management.
