Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) 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.

This is an investigator-blinded, prospective study of subjects diagnosed with
ADHD.Forty-four subjects ages 18 years and older will be enrolled. An Internet-based survey
will be piloted to evaluate its effect on adherence to oral ADHD medication. Subjects
randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the Internet-survey group will log their impression of the
state of their disease on a weekly basis. Subjects in both the intervention and control
groups will receive standard-of-care medication, stimulants. Adherence to the medication
will be assessed using Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS®) caps, electronic monitors
affixed to the medication containers. Investigators and subjects will be blinded to the
adherence data until the final (Month 2) treatment visit.
