Is there evidence of a change in ADHD diagnostic practice?

  • Applicant: Nicoletta Adamo
  • Project ID: 25-112

“People in the general public are concerned about the growing number of ADHD diagnoses and the possibility that ADHD is being overdiagnosed and overtreated with medication. This study investigates whether the threshold for a diagnosis of ADHD and prescribing medication has changed over time, and how these changes relate to symptom severity and everyday functioning.”
