Chatbot-supported psychoeducation in adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: randomised controlled trial.

Background: Although psychoeducation is generally recommended for the treatment of adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), participation in clinical psychoeducation groups is impeded by waiting times and the constrained number of patients who can simultaneously attend a group. Digital psychoeducation attempts are promising, but the rapidly expanding number of apps lack evidence and are mostly limited to only a few implemented interactive elements.

Aims: To determine the potential of digital, self-guided psychoeducation for adult ADHD, a newly developed interactive chatbot was compared with a previously validated, conventional psychoeducation app.

Smartphone-assisted psychoeducation in adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A randomized controlled trial.

Psychoeducation is generally recommended in the treatment of adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but only few studies have systematically assessed the effects of structured clinical psychoeducation. Moreover, although a considerable number of psychoeducational mobile applications exist, none have provided scientific evidence for their effectiveness or safety. Therefore, the present randomized controlled trial investigated a newly developed, free-to-use psychoeducation app for adults with ADHD as a support to a clinical psychoeducation group.
