Abstract

Aims and methods: To truly understand the efficacy of ADHD psychoeducation, we need to know what is commonly included in it. This scoping review aims to describe the content of psychoeducation interventions for ADHD in published research. Literature search was conducted to identify relevant papers. Descriptions of psychoeducation aimed at children, parents/carers, adults, and teachers were identified and compared narratively. Results: After screening, 57 papers were identified for data extraction and coding. Content themes included Information about ADHD; Practical advice; Impact of ADHD; Treatment of ADHD; Co-occurrence; and Self-image/self-esteem. Information about ADHD and practical advice were the most common themes, with variance on inclusion of other themes. Most identified research involved psychoeducation for parents of children with ADHD. Clinical implications: This review provides greater understanding of ADHD psychoeducation content and delivery. Further research could use this understanding to ascertain the efficacy of different content themes in supporting those with ADHD.
