An evaluation of the efficacy and acceptability of the National Clinical Programme for ADHD in adults in Ireland
Engagement with NCPAA services is associated with improvements in ADHD symptoms and life challenges and is acceptable to adults with ADHD in the short term. Service limitations, particularly staffing constraints, warrant attention. Recommendations include strengthening resources, improving communication and appointment systems, and enhancing links to external supports. Given the absence of a control group, findings should be considered preliminary.
