Evaluating the clinical effectiveness, acceptability and tolerability of pharmacological treatments of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults and young people with autism spectrum disorder: a retrospective cohort study.

  • Applicant: George Gillett
  • Project ID: 22-083

There is a general lack of high quality evidence regarding the effectiveness and tolerability of medications for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when prescribed for people with autism spectrum disorder. We plan to assess whether the effectiveness and tolerability of medications for ADHD differ for adults and young people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, compared to individuals with ADHD but no autism spectrum disorder.
