- Abstract
Background: Primary care clinicians need to recognize and diagnose Adult ADHD (AADHD). We tested the feasibility and outcomes of a two-step screening process for AADHD in primary care. Methods: Seven practices screened patients using computerized surveys. Patients screening positive completed the AADHD Quality of Life (AAQoL). We explored the impact of screening on workflow and the acceptability to patients, and identified key barriers/opportunities to continuing screening. Results: Of the 711 participating adults, 188 (26.4%) screened positive, of which 32 (17.0%) had scores at least one standard deviation below means on two or more domains on the AAQoL (average 23.6 ± 7.3). These 32 individuals represented 4.5% of all participants. Clinicians were willing to screen, diagnose, and treat AADHD, but need additional resources. The screening process and technology was acceptable to patients and staff. Conclusions: A two-step screening method shows promise for routine screening for AADHD.
