ADHD

NICHQ cares about children with ADHD!

In the U.S. today, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) reigns as the most common behavioral health condition that affects our children. Accordingly, NICHQ has devoted resources to developing and expanding ADHD management tools for physicians, clinicians and parents across the country.

NICHQ partners to improve healthcare management guidelines for kids with ADHD! 

Following our 2001 Learning Collaborative on ADHD, NICHQ, in conjunction with North Carolina’s Center for Child Health Improvement and the American Academy of Pediatrics, developed Caring for Children with ADHD: A Resource Toolkit for Clinicians. This toolkit bears the results of NICHQ applying sound principles of chronic care management to ADHD cases—namely, involving families in a total care program, tracking the results of our studies, using evidence as the basis for establishing guidelines and coordinating care among various caregivers.

Since producing this toolkit, NICHQ has continued to promote quality improvement work in ADHD.  Today, the NICHQ Annual Forum for Improving Children’s Healthcare offers learning sessions, interactive work groups and breakout sessions to participants engaged in this important work.
