Article Abstract
Objective: This purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a new group cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) to enhance executive function (EF) in college students with ADHD.
Methods: Eighteen students meeting rigorous DSM-5 criteria for ADHD were enrolled in two nine-member groups. The treatment targeted time-awareness, distractibility, procrastination, and failure to plan, and included strategies to facilitate academic EF skills.
Results: Eighty-four percent of students attended nine or more of the 12 weekly sessions. Repeated measures analyses of change from pre- to posttreatment yielded improvement in clinician- and self-ratings of DSM-5 ADHD inattentive symptoms, with robust effect sizes. Also improved were scores on standardized scales of time-management, concentration, and total EF.
Discussion: Results provide support for the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a CBT program in reducing inattentive symptoms and enhancing EF in college students with ADHD, and warrant investigation on a larger scale.

Because clinicians often deviate from fidelity, it is important to monitor EBP fidelity over time to guide corrective actions. However, little is known about current fidelity monitoring practices in community behavioral health care.

Objective: The current selection of patients for carotid revascularisation is mainly based on neurological symptoms and the degree of carotid artery stenosis. Individualised MRI based PRediction scOre using plaque Vulnerability for symptomatic carotid artEry disease patients (IMPROVE) can identify high risk patients who may benefit from carotid revascularisation, based on intraplaque haemorrhage, stenosis severity, cerebral symptoms, sex, and age. For use in clinical trials and eventual practice, the decision rule must be acceptable to clinicians.
