Calls for ADHD Research

“Experts called for more research focused on ADHD in girls and women in a panel in New York City last Thursday.” (January 18, 2024) Fierce Healthcare

A panel in New York City highlighted the need for more research on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in women and girls. The National Institutes of Health, funded only one study on ADHD and women in 2023, which experts find unacceptable due to the rising rates of ADHD diagnoses among women. Possible factors contributing to this increase include growing awareness facilitated by social media, such as TikTok, and major events like the COVID-19 pandemic.
