Evidence-based research is at the foundation of CHADD's efforts to
improve the lives of individuals affected by AD/HD.
CHADD is committed to supporting researchers who study the
many facets of AD/HD. Researchers often seek human subjects to
participate in these studies as they learn more about AD/HD's
diagnosis, treatment, and its implications across the lifespan for
children, adults and families.
As a service to CHADD members and the general public, CHADD is happy
to provide this list for those who wish to particpate in a research
study. This list is not a comprehensive list of all
studies. In each case, the researcher conducting the
study has requested to be listed here, and the studies listed have been
approved by CHADD's Professional Advisory Board.
If you are interested in participating in a research study but want
to learn more about what's involved (either for you or your
child), please see An Introduction to Clinical
Trials (by The Center for Information and Study on Clinical
Research Participation) for a good introduction to important issues
and questions you should consider.
