Evidence-Based Interventions for ADHD

Wading through research to find the most up-to-date, evidence-based treatments can be tedious and time-consuming (trust us-we know!) The Treatment Explorer on EBI-ADHD is straightforward and easy to use: www.adhdevidence.org/blog/evidence-based-interventions-for-adhd

Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to Fund Landmark ADHD Medication Study

ADHD doesn't affect everyone the same way, so why do so many studies treat ADHD patients as a monolith? This study will provide real-world data on the effects of ADHD medications: www.adhdevidence.org/blog/patient-centered-outcomes-research-institute-pcori-to-fund-landmark-adhd-medication-study

#ADHD

Yes, ADHD diagnoses are rising, but that doesn’t mean it’s overdiagnosed ADHD symptoms occur on a continuum and can fluctuate dramatically based on life circumstances such as transitions to middle school, stress levels and even sleep.
