Primary care provision for young people with ADHD : A multi-perspective qualitative study
Copyright © 2024, The Authors..
BACKGROUND: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder. United Kingdom (UK) guidance states primary care has a vital role in effective ADHD management including referral, medication prescribing and monitoring, and providing broader mental health and wellbeing support. However, many general practitioners (GPs) feel unsupported to provide healthcare for young people with ADHD. Inadequate healthcare is associated with rising costs for patients and society.
AIM: To investigate the experiences of young people with ADHD accessing primary care in England, from the perspectives of people with lived experience of ADHD (LE), and healthcare professionals (HPs).
DESIGN AND SETTING: Qualitative interviews were conducted with HPs (GPs, practice mangers, and a wellbeing worker), and people with LE (young people aged 16-25, and their supporters) located in Integrated Care Systems, across England.
METHOD: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants at five purposively selected general practices (varying by: deprivation, ethnicity, rural-urban setting). Questions focused on experiences of accessing/providing healthcare for ADHD. Reflexive thematic analysis was undertaken within a critical realist framework, to understand how provision works in practice and explore potential improvements.
RESULTS: Twenty interviews were completed with 11 HPs and 9 people with LE. Three themes were generated: a system under stress, incompatibility between ADHD and the healthcare system, and strategies for change.
CONCLUSION: Standardisation of ADHD management in primary care, providing better information and support for HPs, and advising on reasonable adjustments for people with LE could help improve access to effective treatments for young people living with ADHD.
