Treatment of children with ADHD

Peer-Reviewed Publication

JAMA NETWORK

About The Study: The results of this study of children with parent-reported attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suggest that most were not receiving ADHD medications and had never received outpatient mental health care. Gaps in treatment, which were not directly associated with socioeconomic disadvantage, underscore the challenges of improving communication and access to outpatient mental health care for children with ADHD. 

Authors: Mark Olfson, M.D., M.P.H., of Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute in New York, is the corresponding author.
