If necessary, a written evaluation summarizing the findings is provided after the session.

These clinical trials are funded by the National Institutes of Health and pharmaceutical companies who are studying the medications. They can be variations of stimulant medications currently used to treat ADHD or alternative, non-stimulant, medications. Although they are investigational, they have been researched in the past and all information about a particular medication will be fully explained to you at the beginning of your participation. Based on your age, she will be able to direct you to the proper study coordinator or make other recommendations. The study staff will gather general information such as age, medical history, and past ADHD evaluations, if any.
