USA Research Project - Posted February 10th 2011 University of Maryland at College Park is conducting a research study to learn more about fathers who have children with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) so that we can eventually use this knowledge to improve treatment for families of children with ADHD. If you are the biological father of a 5 - 12 year old child with ADHD or undiagnosed significant attention/disruptive behavior problems, you may be eligible for this study. Your participation in this study would consist of completing online questionnaires which will take approximately 30 minutes. You will be asked questions about your parenting, your own behavior and emotions, and your child's behavior. As compensation for your participation, you will be entered into a drawing with a 1 in 50 chance of receiving a $50 Amazon gift certificate. If you are interested, please follow the link below to the study. This link will direct you to all informed consent documents and the study.

UK Research Project - Posted November 23rd 2010 WHAT IS IT ABOUT? This study looks at how a medication that is sometimes used in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Autism works in the brain. This medication is called Fluoxetine (also called Prozac). We would like to find out what this medication does in the brains of children with ADHD or Autism compared to healthy controls. This is where you can help us. WHAT WOULD I HAVE TO DO? This is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study which means that you will be asked to come to the centre for neuroimaging sciences in Denmark Hill to have some brain scans. During the scan you would have to play some games and also lie quite still for a while. We would like you to come in for two scans within two weeks. We know this is quite a lot to ask so we will compensate you for your time. We can also give you a picture of your brain and pay for taxis to take you to and from Denmark Hill HOW DO I FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION? Call Dr Anna Smith or Miss Kaylita Chantiluke on 0207 848 0755/5370 or email anna.smith@iop.kcl.ac.uk or kaylita.chantiluke@kcl.ac.uk Ethics approval no:: 10/H0711/5 Note: 1. The MRI machine uses a giant magnet and is very safe which is why it is very useful for research with children. 2. We cannot scan you if you have a mouth brace or are left handed.

UK Research Project - Updated November 4th 2010 Parent and Child Perceptions of ADHD The purpose of this research is to explore Parent and Child Perceptions of ADHD. We want to discover whether there is a link between the way parents and children perceive ADHD, the way they deal with it, and how this affects them. We are interested in what it is like for parents and young people to live with a diagnosis of ADHD so you will be asked multiple choice questions. This will also be a chance to contribute to the understanding of ADHD which may help yourselves or others in the future. We are interested in all types of ADHD (e.g. ADD, mainly hyperactive type). All completed and received questionnaire sets will be receive an entry into a prize draw for retail vouchers of either £50; £20; £10; £5. Participation requires filling in a set of questionnaires which should about 35 minutes for adults and 25 minutes for children/young people. Adults must be parents or main carers of children (any age under 18) with ADHD diagnosed by a health care professional. Children must have ADHD diagnosed by a health care professional. They will need to have an English reading age of at least 11 years to complete the questionnaires. They must be aged 18 or under.

I am working with my supervisors, Dr Gary Law and Dr Helen Rostill, Clinical Psychologists. We would like parents/carers and children/young people to complete a set of questionnaires exploring thoughts and feelings about ADHD. We are interested in all types of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (e.g. ADD, mainly hyperactive type). All completed questionnaire sets will be rewarded with entry into a prize draw once we have received them. Adults and children will receive an entry each to the draw for one of: £50; £20; £10; £5; retail vouchers. Who can participate? Adults must be parents or main carers of children (any age under 18) with a type of ADHD diagnosed by a health care professional. Children must have a type of ADHD diagnosed by a health care professional. They will need to have an English reading age of around 11 years to complete the questionnaires. The upper age limit is 17. Parents/carers can participate without their child doing so. Likewise, children/young people can participate without their parent/carer doing so. However, children under 16 must have their parent or main carer’s consent. What is the purpose of this research? The purpose of this research is to establish whether there is a link between the way parents and children perceive ADHD, the way they deal with it, and how this affects them. We are interested in what it is like for parents and young people to live with a diagnosis of ADHD so you will be asked multiple choice questions. This will also be a chance to contribute to the understanding of ADHD which may help yourselves or others in the future. This may be through developing ways to help people cope better, helping them understand ADHD in a more helpful way, or in identifying people who may need more help. What will happen to me and my answers if I agree to take part? You will fill in a set of questionnaires sent to your address or your ADHD support group. Adult packs take about 35 minutes to complete and children’s packs take around 25 minutes to complete. Once you have filled them in you can return them to us in the prepaid envelope. You will be entered into the prize draw and your answers will put into a computer. Your name and address will be kept separately from your answers. All information will be kept confidentially and only viewed by the researchers named above. The results of the study as a whole will also be made available to you at a later date. In the unlikely event that any child safeguarding concerns (i.e. risk of harm to anyone) are raised through yours or your child’s information then the appropriate local protocol will be followed and the matter will be discussed with relevant agencies. What will happen if I do not want to carry on with the study? Once you have received the questionnaires you can of course decide that you do not wish to continue and not complete them. Once I have received you responses you can withdraw your data if you wish by contacting me up until the research is published. You will still be eligible for the prize draw. What will happen to the results of the study? The results will used for a university doctorate thesis and will also be submitted for publication to an academic journal. Participants will receive an overall summary of the final study and results. What happens if I have any further concerns? You are able to contact me at the University of Birmingham via email or post. If you would like to talk on the telephone please send me, Justin Savage, your number in order to call you back or leave a message at the university. The details are at the bottom of this page.

UK Research Project - Posted March 26th 2010 We are currently looking for young people aged 17-25 with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or who have an Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) to take part in a research project. Could you spare about 45 minutes to chat to us about your experiences? The Big Lottery Fund has asked ECOTEC, an independent research organisation, to look at the views and experiences of young people with ADHD or an ASC in the transition to adulthood. This will help Big Lottery Fund to understand how they might be able to assist young people in the future. As a thank you for your time you will receive £25. We are keen to hear from young people who have had help or support from health or other services as well as people who have not had as much help or support. The research will be completely confidential and you will not be identified within the results. You can take part by telephone, face to face or by email or skype/MSN. Research study supported by the Big Lottery Fund For more info on ECOTEC see www.ecotec.com
