Abstract

Close
- Objectives: SAINT is based on previous research on a CBT manual for adults with ADHD, now shortened to 5 individual-sessions with a follow-up session one month after treatment. It will be compared to an established self-help manual for adults with ADHD, provided through internet. Will SAINT produce an increased everyday function measured with AAQoL compared to control group? If so, is the increased function related to a higher adherence to treatment methods and homework in SAINT?Methods: A randomized controlled study design is applied where SAINT is compared to an active control condition. Asessments are made before treatment, during treatment, immediately after treatment, one month and three months after treatment. Both groups receive treatment during five weeks with a booster session one month after the fifth session. Outcome measures include everyday function, quality of life and ADHD symptoms, among others. The study is conducted in a specialist health care clinic in Stockholm.Results: To date, 71 participants have been randomized to one of two treatment conditions. 20 more participants will be recruited during 2023 and the final results will be analyzed in early 2024. Preliminary data on the outcome measures will be presented at the ADHD World Congress.Conclusions: In case of promising results, SAINT could be offered to patients immediately after diagnosis, thus increasing access to CBT for adults with ADHD.
