Summary

This trial will evaluate the feasibility of using a video and/or question prompt lists to improve communication about ADHD in 11-17 year-olds and their families.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adolescents aged 11-17 with an ADHD diagnosis and their parents. Participants must be attending an ADHD visit and show specific types of ADHD on the Vanderbilt scale. Parents need to be legal guardians, over 18, and also speak English.

What is being tested?

The study tests if a pre-visit intervention (question prompt list/video) can improve communication about ADHD in clinical visits. It's a pilot trial with four groups: one gets both tools, another just the list, the third only the video, and the last receives usual care without these aids.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-medical interventions like question lists and videos, there are no direct medical side effects expected. However, feedback on acceptability and safety will be collected to ensure it's comfortable for participants.
