   • Study protocol elaborates on RCT investigating the efficacy of a novel digital intervention.
   • Minds@Work-QWL aims to enhance overall quality of work life in adults living with ADHD.
   • Program targets job satisfaction, psychological needs and well-being, self-esteem, self-efficacy, cognitive functioning, self-compassion, and quality of work relationships..

   Background: While psychosocial interventions for ADHD in children are well-established, there is a gap in addressing ADHD symptoms that persist into adulthood, particularly those impacting occupational functioning. Adults living with ADHD often face challenges in the workplace related to time management, regulating attention, task prioritization, and meeting deadlines. Methods: This study will evaluate the efficacy of a workplace intervention designed to improve the quality of work life in adults living with possible ADHD. A single-blind randomized controlled trial will compare an 8-week virtual psychosocial intervention to an active control group, with quality of work life as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes will include self-reported measures related to work such as job satisfaction, psychological needs and well-being, self-esteem, self-efficacy, cognitive functioning, self-compassion, and quality of work relationships. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12-month follow-up. In parallel, an optional awareness raising video will engage workplace stakeholders to improve ADHD literacy, reduce stigma, and offer neuroinclusive management strategies. Intention-to-treat analyses will use linear mixed-effects models. Discussion: A participatory research approach was used to co-design the intervention material with workplace managers, community representatives, service providers and adults with lived experience. The research team will disseminate findings in scientific journals, conferences, and by sharing bilingual intervention materials with service providers and adults living with ADHD. This study fills a gap in addressing ADHD in the workplace, with findings that will inform intervention practices and improve workplace inclusion. Trial registration: This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06774378) on January 17, 2025.
