Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Internet Survey Study in a College Student Population

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common condition in young adults. There are many safe oral therapies that require daily use to be effective. Because frequent follow-up visits have been shown to increase adherence to medication, we will determine if adherence to oral therapy for ADHD will improve with an intervention involving weekly internet-based contact without an office visit. The primary aim is to determine the effectiveness of an Internet-based survey in improving adherence to therapy for ADHD. Subjects in this study will be either receive a weekly Internet-based survey assessing the prescribed medication and their ADHD, or to receive standard-of-care therapy in which they will take their medication. The following hypothesis is to be tested: A weekly Internet survey will promote improved adherence to oral ADHD medications.
