Improving healthcare information for young people with ADHD in general practice: a qualitative study
In total, 20 participants were recruited (11 healthcare professionals and nine people with lived experience). Four themes were generated: lack of ADHD-specific resources, supporting patients with condition management, dedicated resources for clinicians, and digital resources enhancing care<i>.</i> CONCLUSION: People with lived experience and healthcare professionals want better healthcare information about ADHD in general practice, including co-produced resources to support understanding and self-management. Digital resources represent a potentially cost-effective and accessible solution that is currently underutilised.
