Reading the Research: Module 7

"Misdiagnosing ADHD"

The Student Learning Outcomes for this course include (1) exposure to empirical findings in the field of human development and (2) application of research findings as they relate to every day life.  Each module I will provide a current example (most often from a peer-reviewed journal article) of research connected to a topic explored in that module. 

 

Several studies have examined the possible misdiagnosis of ADHS in children. Though frequently diagnosed, it remains poorly understood with a substantial swirl of controversy lingering.  This link will take you to one journal article that addresses these concerns:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4443828 Links to an external site.
