What families in the UK use to manage attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): a survey of resource use.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify interventions being used to manage attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the UK.

Design

A survey within the Sheffield Treatments for ADHD Research project. A convenience sample of participants in the UK who consented to join an observational cohort were asked closed questions about medication, behavioural change programmes and service use, and an open-ended question about what else they used.

Setting

A broad variety of non-National Health Service, non-treatment seeking settings throughout the UK, including local authority organisations, schools, ADHD and autism spectrum condition support groups and social media.

Participants

Families of children aged 5-18 with carer reported ADHD and Conners Global Index (CGI) T scores of 55+.
