NCT01272726 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: ARI-1260-ADHD
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 60
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The goal of this research study is to measure what percentage of women who suspect they have symptoms of ADHD will go on to be diagnosed with ADHD using accepted practice standards. The study will also evaluate the influence education on the genetics of ADHD has on a woman in her deciding to receive behavioral health treatment for ADHD.

Conditions

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• To determine if offering relative risk genotyping for ADHD, and educating around the genetic and environmental contributions to ADHD, may lead to greater health care acceptance in women who struggle with ADHD.

  24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• To determine if women who think they have ADHD actually have ADHD.

  24 hours
