Participate in Groundbreaking ADHD Research for Women
🚨 Calling all women with ADHD! Your Voice Matters! 🚨
We’re excited to share an opportunity to make a real difference in ADHD research for women! A research team in the Netherlands is leading the ADHD and Women’s Health Survey, officially titled Female ADHD: An International Survey on Experiences and Health of Women with ADHD. This study aims to uncover the unique challenges and experiences of women with ADHD and improve future care and support.
Participants will:
Contribute to the representation of women with ADHD in the scientific community.
Help the investigators to get more insight into the experiences and health of women with ADHD.
Help in the search for a better treatment for women with ADHD.
The study needs at least 3000 participants from different countries, including the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Belgium, USA, France, and Malta. If you identify as a woman and are between the ages of 18, you can be one of them!
Our ADHDKC coordinator, Jeremy Didier, was inspired by the principal investigator, Dr. Sandra Kooij's plenary presentation at APSARD and encourages our community to participate in this important cause.
