Summary

This study tracks 250 teens with ADHD aged 16-17 over two years using smartphone apps and a Fitbit. The goal is to understand what changes happen during this transition and what predicts negative outcomes. Researchers will then co-design a smartphone app with teens to help them manage their ADHD and stay engaged with healthcare.
