What this Trial Is About
Researchers are comparing two behavioral treatments, Organizational Skills Training (OST) and Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI), for adolescents diagnosed with ADHD who are seeking care through the Duke ADHD Program. This randomized control trial aims to evaluate and compare the effects of OST and MBI on ADHD symptoms, functional impairment, executive functioning, emotion regulation, mindfulness traits, and organizational skills over an 8-week treatment period. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either OST or MBI, both consisting of eight 90-minute sessions. These treatments are standard clinical care options offered at the Duke ADHD Program and are billable services. Adolescents and their caregivers participate in assessments before and after treatment, completing questionnaires remotely using an electronic data capture system. During the study, participants and their caregivers complete rating scales measuring ADHD symptoms, functional challenges, executive functioning, emotion dysregulation, mindfulness, and organizational skills. Researchers will also track session attendance and homework completion to assess feasibility, and gather feedback on satisfaction and treatment acceptability. The total treatment and assessment period spans eight weeks, including pre- and post-treatment evaluations.
