Despite an emergence of psychosocial treatments for adolescent ADHD, their long-term effects are unknown.

Quantitative and qualitative analyses evaluated group×time and group×grade×time effects on 4-year outcomes. Relative to LI, a single dose of HI had modest but lasting effects on teen organization skills (d =.40) and ADHD symptoms (9th grade only: d =.27 to.31) at 4-year follow-up.

Treatment appeared most effective when delivered to older adolescents (i.e., 9th versus 6th grade), suggesting the long-term impact of ADHD treatment may increase with age. Qualitative data corroborated that the primary long-term benefit of HI (vs. LI) treatment was to organization skills; many of the remaining perceived benefits were to parent and teen psychological variables (i.e., increased self-esteem, self-awarene...Continue Reading
