Prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults with Down syndrome in secondary mental health services

  • Applicant: Shengyang Chen
  • Project ID: 22-087

While attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is suspected to have increased prevalence in individuals with Down syndrome, there is limited research on the prevalence of ADHD in this population. The current project aims to inform current data regarding the prevalence of ADHD in adults with Down syndrome and determine if there is an underdiagnosis of ADHD in this population.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
