Brief Summary

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that are persistent across situations and time. ADHD in adulthood, with an estimated prevalence of 2 - 3 %, is associated with challenges that may have severe consequences on their daily life functioning. Still, the availability of evidence-based psychological interventions is limited. Interventions delivered over the Internet is promising, because it may increase the availability of effective psychological interventions for a larger group of adults with ADHD. However, studies show that lack of sustained adherence is a challenge in self-guided internet interventions. Digital reminders may help increase adherence and engagement in these interventions.
