| Brief purpose of the study: | This study explores how students with ADHD engage with AI tools during academic reading — not to evaluate or judge how you use them, but to genuinely understand your experience. Participation has no impact on your academic standing or access to university services. |
| Brief summary of what participants will be asked to do: | Participation involves:
• An initial one-hour virtual interview (via Zoom)
• A four-week usage diary completed at your own pace (entries take just 2–3 minutes each)
• A one-hour follow-up virtual interview
|
| Basic eligibility criteria: | To participate, you must:
• Be 18 or older
• Be a current undergraduate student
• Have an ADHD diagnosis (self-verified — no documentation required)
• Be engaged in academic work that involves sustained reading
• Have used a generative AI tool in connection with academic reading
