Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects 5% of children in the United Kingdom (UK), impacting upon daily functioning and multiple health outcomes. Support for ADHD in the United Kingdom is currently insufficient, and waiting lists for specialist assessment and treatment are long. Community-based interventions are often not widely delivered although we know psycho-social interventions, such as parenting interventions, can be effective and are recommended in clinical guidelines. Nature-based interventions can support mental health and wellbeing in general populations, and recent empirical research suggests promising mechanistic support for effective use with ADHD populations. Co-production of interventions with children, adolescents and families has been recognised as a key approach for future research. The aim of this study was to co-produce a parent-led nature-based intervention, underpinned by current research, public health policy and theory, that can be taken forward to future feasibility and full trial testing to support mental health and wellbeing and symptom reduction in children with ADHD.
