Abstract

This study examined gender-related patterns in participation goals among 39 adults with ADHD undergoing cognitive-functional intervention (Cog-Fun-A). Using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, 117 goals were categorized by OTPF-4 domains. Women prioritized IADLs and leisure; men emphasized health, sleep, and ADLs. Work, education, and social goals were common across genders. Results tentatively suggest that participation goals may be shaped by both executive dysfunction and gendered expectations. A gender-informed, function-based approach may enhance individualized ADHD care.
