| Abstract: |
Self-monitoring is an intervention that can result in behavior change by having individuals observe and record their own behavior. Self-monitoring has received empirical support in changing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) related behaviors in children, but there is scarce research regarding self-monitoring with adults with ADHD. The current study implemented a self-monitoring intervention aimed at improving academic behavior and medication adherence in college students with ADHD. The self-monitoring intervention included study skills training, goal-setting, identification of individualized self-monitoring behavior, and follow-up meetings to discuss progress. The participants were asked to monitor their behavior on a daily basis using an electronic system. Compared to a control group, who received study skills training and goal-setting with no self-monitoring, participants in the self-monitoring group had significant improvement in their ADHD symptoms, academic behavior, GPAs, and goal attainment. No changes were found in medication adherence. The contributions of these findings to the current literature on self-monitoring and interventions for adults with ADHD are discussed.
