“…Given the highly heterogeneous nature of ADHD, understanding factors that foster resilience is critical to informing efforts to promote adjustment, reduce risk, and improve care for individuals with ADHD both during and after the pandemic. Past research has demonstrated the importance of self-efficacy, social support, and coping behaviors for predicting resilient outcomes among adolescents with ADHD (Dvorsky et al, 2020;Edwards et al, 2021). As COVID-19 has progressed, there is emerging evidence that some youth with ADHD are functioning well in some domains, despite experiencing impairment in other domains (Sciberras et al, 2020;Sibley et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2020).…”

Understanding factors that foster resilience and buffer against the negative psychological impact of COVID-19 is critical to inform efforts to promote adjustment, reduce risk, and improve care, particularly for adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders. This prospective longitudinal study addresses this gap by investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents' mental health and substance use, and by assessing specific positive coping strategies among adolescents with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Using multi-group autoregressive cross-lagged path models, the present study explored the reciprocal influence of positive coping behaviors on multiple adjustment outcomes including mental health symptoms, substance use, stress, and worry. Participants included 238 adolescents (132 male participants; ages 15-17; 118 with ADHD). Parents provided ratings of adolescent routines, and adolescents provided ratings of coping behaviors and psychological adjustment in spring (May/June), summer (July/August), and fall (October/November) 2020. All models included the effects of adjustment at the prior timepoint as well as relevant covariates including adolescent race, ethnicity, sex, medication status, and family income. Adolescents with ADHD were at greater risk for experiencing increases in mental health symptoms and substance use throughout the pandemic, relative to adolescents without ADHD. The use of positive coping strategies and adolescent routines buffered against increases in substance use and mental health problems for adolescents with ADHD. These findings have important clinical and public policy relevance for parents, schools, and employers who may aim to prioritize keeping schedules as consistent as possible to promote healthy adjustment.

“…Kronenberg, Verkerk‐Tamminga, Goossens, van den Brink, and von Achterberg ( 2015 ) report a personal recovery approach in individuals with substance use disorder and co‐occurring ADHD or autism, identifying four themes related to recovery: the crisis associated with diagnosis; dealing with symptoms and burden; reorganising the individual's life; and working towards a meaningful life. More recently, research has begun to explore the concept of personal recovery in children with ADHD from the perspectives of caregivers (Edwards, Rudaizky, Toner, & Chen, 2020 ) and adolescents/young adults with ADHD themselves (Chen et al., 2022 ). More research with ADHD consumers and practitioners working in the area is required to consider what recovery‐based models may look like in the context of ADHD and whether they address unmet needs.…”

Objective: Understanding the unmet needs of healthcare consumers with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (individuals with ADHD and their caregivers) provides critical insight into gaps in services, education and research that require focus and funding to improve outcomes. This review examines the unmet needs of ADHD consumers from a consumer perspective. Methods: A standardised search protocol identified peer-reviewed studies published between December 2011 and December 2021 focusing on consumer-identified needs relating to ADHD clinical care or research priorities. Results: 1,624 articles were screened with 23 studies that reviewed examining the needs of ADHD consumers from Europe, the U.K., Hong Kong, Iran, Australia, the U.S.A. and Canada. Consumeridentified needs related to: treatment that goes beyond medication (12 studies); improved ADHD-related education/training (17 studies); improved access to clinical services, carer support and financial assistance (14 studies); school accommodations/support (6 studies); and ongoing treatment efficacy research (1 study). Conclusion: ADHD consumers have substantial unmet needs in clinical, psychosocial and research contexts. Recommendations to address these needs include: improving access to and quality of multimodal care provision; incorporating recovery principles into care provision; fostering ADHD health literacy; and increasing consumer participation in research, service development and ADHD-related training/education.
