MHIM-ADHD Project - Posted 12/1/2026
We are currently running a project looking at the “Daily life experiences of young people with ADHD” and are inviting young people between 11-14 years old with a diagnosis of ADHD from around the UK to take part.
About the project:
The study aims to learn more about how daily life experiences - like stress, anxiety, peer relationships, physical activity, and emotional regulation - impact the mental health of young people with ADHD. The insights from this research will inform the development of future health interventions to better support young people with ADHD beyond pharmacological treatments.
· Parents/guardians and young people complete online surveys
· Young people work with our study app for 2 weeks answering short questions
· Compensation voucher of up to £30 for their time
The project has received ethical approval from the Ethics Committee at the University of Edinburgh and NHS/IRAS approval.

Opportunity for unpaid carers to undertake Scottish Vocational Qualification
A funded project provided through Aberdeenshire Council, Health & Social Care Partnership, to enable unpaid carers (ie parents, grandparents, etc) who care for their child with special educational needs/disability/additional support needs/long-term illness to gain a Scottish Vocational Qualification at Level 2 in Social Services (Children & Young People), based on their caring role at home.
