Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that are persistent across time and situations. ADHD in adulthood, with estimated prevalence of 2-3%, is associated with challenges that may have severe consequences on daily life functioning. Treatments delivered over the Internet on smartphones or personal computers may help to increase the availability of effective psychological interventions for a larger group of adults with ADHD. The overall aim of this study is to investigate 1) predictors of effect; 2) implementation outcomes; and the 3) cost-benefit of a therapist guided Internet-delivered treatment for adults with an ADHD diagnosis. The study is an open longitudinal cohort trial in routine care. A total of 200 participants with an ADHD diagnosis will be included in the trial, and 15 participants will be interviewed about their experiences with guided Internet-delivered treatment. The outcomes are change in primary and secondary symptoms and quality of life, cost-benefit and implementation outcomes of guided internet-delivered treatment for adults with ADHD. The investigators will use quantitative statistical procedures and qualitative methods to analyze the data. The results from the study will contribute to the growing research on Internet-delivered treatments. The expected results may have a major impact on treatment provision and the further development of treatment options for adults with ADHD. Moreover, investigating ways to increase adoption, adherence and fidelity in Internet-delivered treatment could be of great value when implementing such treatment into routine care.
