Lay Summary :
Sleep disturbances are common in young people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and many children with ADHD and sleep disturbances are prescribed medications to help them sleep, known as hypnotics or sleep medications; however, little is known about how commonly these medications are prescribed, and who is most likely to have been prescribed them. This project aims to track rates of sleep medication prescriptions, and analyse which medical and non-medical factors are associated with their use.<br/>
