Research Collaboration with ADHD Europe, Prof. Sandra Kooij & Dora Wynchank (PsyQ, Netherlands)
|
|
You are invited to participate in Research!!
We already know that there is currently a lack of research focusing on adult women with ADHD - especially from the perspective of these women themselves. The aims of this survey are to:
1. Understand the overall experience of adult women with ADHD
2. Explore the links between ADHD and other health conditions
3. Identify barriers to diagnosis and sources of support
4. Recognize what needs to be researched further and which interventions are needed
Get ready to participate in Research?
