adhd Mortality, ADHD, and Psychosocial Adversity in Adults With Childhood ADHD: A Prospective Study By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2013-03-04T00:06:10-08:00 Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been viewed as a neurodevelopmental disorder, adversely affecting behavior and school performance, with studies suggesting increased risk for poor adult outcomes. However, no prospective studies have examined long-term outcomes of childhood ADHD in an epidemiologic sample.Our epidemiologic study indicates that adults with childhood ADHD are at increased risk for death from suicide. ADHD persists into adulthood in 29.3% of childhood ADHD cases, and 56.9% have ≥1 psychiatric disorder other than ADHD. (Read the full article) Full Article

adhd Racial and Ethnic Disparities in ADHD Diagnosis From Kindergarten to Eighth Grade By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2013-06-24T00:07:08-07:00 Minority children are less likely than white children to be diagnosed and treated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. However, diagnosis patterns over time in early and middle childhood and whether confounding factors explain these disparities are not currently well understood.Racial/ethnic disparities in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis occur by kindergarten and continue until eighth grade. Racial/ethnic disparities among diagnosed children in medication use occur in both fifth and eighth grades. These disparities are not attributable to confounding factors.

adhd Video Game Use in Boys With Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, or Typical Development By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2013-07-29T00:07:11-07:00 Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and those with ADHD are at risk for problematic video game use. However, group differences in media use or in the factors associated with problematic video game use have not been studied.Boys with ASD and ADHD demonstrated greater problematic video game use than did boys with typical development. Inattention was uniquely associated with problematic use for both groups, and role-playing game genre was associated with problematic use among the ASD group only.

adhd Media Use and Sleep Among Boys With Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, or Typical Development By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2013-11-18T00:06:44-08:00 Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk for sleep disturbances and excessive media use. However, the relationship between media use and sleep in children with ASD or ADHD has not been studied.In-room access to screen-based media and video game hours were associated with less sleep among boys with ASD. The relationships between media use and sleep were much more pronounced among boys with ASD than among boys with ADHD or typical development. (Read the full article) Full Article
adhd In-School Neurofeedback Training for ADHD: Sustained Improvements From a Randomized Control Trial By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-02-17T00:07:20-08:00 An estimated 9.5% of children are diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which affects academic and social outcomes. We previously found significant improvements in ADHD symptoms immediately after neurofeedback training at school.This randomized controlled trial included a large sample of elementary school students with ADHD who received in-school computer attention training with neurofeedback or cognitive training. Students who received neurofeedback were reported to have fewer ADHD symptoms 6 months after the intervention. (Read the full article) Full Article
adhd Language Problems in Children With ADHD: A Community-Based Study By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-04-21T00:06:55-07:00 Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have poorer academic and social functioning and more language problems than typically developing peers. However, it is unknown how language problems impact the academic and social functioning of these children.Language problems are common in children with ADHD and are associated with markedly poorer academic functioning independent of ADHD symptom severity and comorbidities. There was little evidence that language problems were associated with poorer social functioning for children with ADHD. (Read the full article) Full Article
adhd Parental Smoking During Pregnancy and ADHD in Children: The Danish National Birth Cohort By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-07-21T00:07:01-07:00 Prenatal maternal smoking has been associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children, but the causal nature of this association is unclear. Controlling for the association with paternal smoking has been inconsistent.Women who used nicotine replacement also had children with a higher risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Mother's smoking behavior appears more important than father's, suggesting a possible causal effect of nicotine exposure or factors related to maternal nicotine dependence.

adhd ADHD, Stimulant Treatment, and Growth: A Longitudinal Study By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-09-01T00:06:19-07:00 Stimulant medications are indicated for treatment of childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but there is concern that stimulants may negatively affect growth. However, no longitudinal, population-based studies have examined height into adulthood for childhood ADHD cases.This longitudinal, population-based study shows that neither childhood ADHD itself nor treatment with stimulants is associated with significant deficits in height into adulthood.

adhd Functional Status in Children With ADHD at Age 6-8: A Controlled Community Study By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-09-29T00:06:46-07:00 Children who have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) attending clinical services have poorer outcomes in adolescence on a range of measures. However, it is unknown how early in development these impairments appear, particularly for community-ascertained samples.At age 6 to 8 years, children in the community with ADHD have significantly poorer mental health, academic performance and social function compared with control children. Children who have impairing ADHD symptoms should be referred early for assessment and intervention. (Read the full article) Full Article
adhd Variability in ADHD Care in Community-Based Pediatrics By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-11-03T00:06:30-08:00 In 2000/2001, the American Academy of Pediatrics published recommendations for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) care. According to pediatricians’ self-report of adoption of these guidelines, community-based ADHD care appears to be marginally adequate.Using reviews of >1500 patient charts, this study demonstrates that community-based ADHD care is not consistent with evidence-based practice. Furthermore, variability in much of community-based ADHD care is unrelated to the provider, suggesting that innovative, system-wide interventions are needed to improve ADHD care.

adhd Treating ADHD in Adolescents By dx.doi.org Published On :: Tue, 10 May 2016 15:00:00 +0000 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD is a very common problem affecting about 10% of all adolescents. Children with ADHD have short attention spans, are hyperactive, talk a great deal, can be disruptive in the classroom etc.-features that are common in many adolescents. However, to have true ADHD, children must be significantly impaired by these problems. An array of medical and behavioral treatments can successfully help manage ADHD. These are reviewed in a series of articles appearing in the May 10, 2016, issue of JAMA. In this podcast, we discuss ADHD with the authors of some of those papers, Eugenia Chan, MD, MPH from Harvard and Philip Shaw, MD, PhD from the National Human Genome Research Institute.
