Summary
This study tested whether giving teens with ADHD and their parents a question list or a short video before a doctor visit helps them talk more openly and get better care. About 126 English-speaking teens aged 11-17 with ADHD took part. The goal was to see if these tools improve symptoms, school performance, and quality of life over six months.
