Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the third most prevalent mental health issue worldwide and 2.9% (approximately 703,000) of Canadians aged 20-64 reported being diagnosed with the condition.
ADHD in adulthood can be associated with significant impairment in executive functioning. This tool aims to support family physicians and primary care nurse practitioners screen, diagnose and implement treatment for adult patients with ADHD.

Adults with ADHD may experience significant impairment in occupational, academic, social and emotional functioning. Treatment involves both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Divided into six sections, this tool is designed to empower family physicians and primary care nurse practitioners to manage ADHD in adults (aged 18+) in a primary care setting. Sections include:
Screening and diagnosis
Initiating treatment
Pharmacological management
Non-pharmacological treatment options
Treatment for patients with comorbid conditions and differential diagnosis
Maintenance and monitoring
The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Adults Tool was developed using the Centre for Effective Practice's (CEP's) integrated knowledge translation approach. This approach ensures that providers are engaged throughout the development processes through the application of user-centered design methodology. Clinical leadership of the resource was provided by Dr. Ainslie Gray. End users and clinical experts were also engaged to provide feedback.
The tool is one of several clinical tools developed as part of the Knowledge Translation in Primary Care Initiative. This multi-year initiative is a collaboration between the Centre for Effective Practice, Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP), and Nurse Practitioners' Association of Ontario (NPAO). Funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, this initiative supports primary care providers with the development of a series of clinical tools and health information resources. Learn more about the Knowledge Translation in Primary Care Initiative (KTinPC).
