Personalising ADHD Medication Treatment for Children and Young People

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common condition that affects children's behaviour, attention and activity levels. Medicines can be an effective treatment for ADHD, but it is often difficult to know which medicine will work best for a particular child. As a result, some children may need to try several medicines before finding one that is effective and well tolerated. This study aims to test a new online decision-support system called PETRA. The system is designed to help children, parents or carers, and doctors make shared decisions about ADHD medication. The study will assess whether it is practical and acceptable to run a larger clinical trial comparing this personalised approach with standard care.
