Study Details

The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the identity of young adults with ADHD and understand how they integrate the diagnosis into their identity, and when and why they conceal and disclose their diagnosis in various social situations. 50 participants between age 18 and 29 years old who have a diagnosis of ADHD will be recruited. The participation in this study will include completing an online questionnaire via Qualtrics describing their experiences with disclosure and concealment, and their advice about best practices.
