Smartphone-based Intervention for Young Adults With ADHD
12. juni 2026 opdateret af: Traci Kennedy
Training Inhibitory Control Using Personalized Strategies (TIPS): A Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial of a Smartphone-Based Intervention for Alcohol Use in Young Adults With ADHD
The primary goal of this clinical trial is to test if a smartphone-based intervention is feasible & acceptable among young adults with ADHD who also engage in risky drinking behaviors. A secondary aim is to test preliminary intervention efficacy. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is the smartphone intervention feasible & acceptable for participants (e.g., are they responding regularly, is there a low level of burden reported)?
Does the smartphone intervention improve symptom awareness, inhibitory control, and problematic alcohol use?
Participants will:
Attend a virtual baseline visit to assess ADHD, alcohol use, and other life experiences.
Complete either the TIPS smartphone intervention or a control smartphone protocol over the course of 31-days, starting the first Friday after the baseline visit.
Attend a virtual follow-up visit, where many of the same questions from the baseline visit will be asked again.

Våben og indgreb
Deltagergruppe / Arm |
Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentel: Intervention Arm
Participants in this arm will be randomly assigned to the Experimental condition of the smartphone portion.
|
Participants will rate their ADHD symptoms and impairment 4 times daily.
Feedback on changes in ADHD symptoms will be provided visually via a graph at each prompt.
They will also be texted suggestions following each survey to try behavioral strategies intended to help with their inhibitory control ADHD symptoms and related problems, with a particular focus on alcohol use and problems).
|
|
Sham-komparator: Control Arm
Participants in this arm will be randomly assigned to the Control condition of the smartphone portion.
|
Participants will receive 4 prompts per day in the same time windows as participants in the intervention group.
However, participants in the control conditions will not be given the 3 TIPS intervention components (symptom monitoring, symptom feedback, and tailored strategy suggestions) and instead will report about their drinking behaviors.
They will also answer several "neutral" questionnaires that have been designed by the study team to keep intervention prompt length similar between groups.

Average Completion Rate
Tidsramme: Enrollment to Completion of 31-Day Intervention Period
|
Completion rate will be defined as number of surveys completed out of the 124 that will be sent during the 31-day smartphone intervention period.
4 surveys will be sent every day.
An average completion rate of 80% in the intervention group would indicate good feasibility.

Average mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ) Rating
Tidsramme: Within 1 month of intervention completion
|
The usability of the smartphone intervention will be assessed using the 18-item mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ), rated from 1-disagree to 7-agree, with an average of at least 5 indicating good usability.
