Peer co-led education describes educators who are expert patients, user representatives or former patients, participating and teaching in educational interventions in cooperation with health care professionals. Peer co-led education is included in the Norwegian national guidelines for treatment of mental disorders, but despite some promising results for the treatment of other conditions, still little is known about the efficacy of peer co-led educational group interventions interventions for adults with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
This pilot trial will evaluate patient satisfaction with and preliminary efficacy of a 2-session peer co-led educational group program designed to address specific challenges faced by adults diagnosed with ADHD at an outpatient clinics in mid-Norway.

change in patient activation
Patient activation will be measured with the Norwegian version of the Patient Activation Measure Mental Health (PAM-MH) (Green et al 2010))
Time frame: from baseline to 10-weeks follow-up
change in general self-efficacy
General Self-Efficacy Scale, 6-item scale ranging from 1 ('not at all true') to 4 ('exactly true'). Total scores range from 6 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy. (Romppel et al 2013)
Time frame: from baseline to 10 weeks follow-up
change in ADHD-related symptoms
Hopkin's Symptom Checklist (SCL), 9-items scale with high scores on SCL-9 indicating ADHD-related symptom burden (Eich et al 2011)
Time frame: from baseline to 10 weeks follow-up
change in ADHD-related symptoms
Norwegian version of the WHO Adult ADHD Self-report scale, ASRS Short Form (Kessler et al 2005)
