START Smart

Symptom Tracking for ADHD in Real Time using Smartphones

Principal Investigator: Traci Kennedy, PhD

Funding Source: Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation

The goal of the START Smart Study is to explore whether smartphones can be used to help young adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in their everyday lives by tracking and giving feedback on their behavior. This study is enrolling 50 young adults between age 18-21 with ADHD. Participants will have 2 video calls and will answer questions about their behavior on their smartphones each day for 3 weeks. The results of this study will be used to design a mobile-health intervention for young adults with ADHD.
