ADHD Research and Programs from the CDC
Description
This session describes how the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works to support people with ADHD and their families, healthcare providers, and educational systems through research and programmatic activities. For individuals and families affected by ADHD, this includes research on prevalence of ADHD, co-occurring disorders, and treatment, and factors associated with receiving recommended treatment. For health care providers, we will share CDC’s research on provider-school communication on ADHD diagnosis and treatment. For educators, we will present resources for classroom behavioral supports and special education services. We will also include descriptions and more examples of two decades of CDC’s ADHD work, including currently available resources developed through CDC’s collaboration with CHADD and new CDC data to better understand ADHD in adults.
