Unmet Needs and Service Priorities for ADHD in Australia
The findings highlight substantial unmet needs and systemic barriers in ADHD diagnosis and care in Australia. The AI-assisted analysis of consumer submissions offers a scalable method for integrating lived experience into policy development, providing numerical weighting to the individuals' responses. Coordinated reforms in access, funding, and workforce training are needed to align services with both clinical evidence and community expectations
Stimulant treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and risk of first and repeat juvenile criminal offending
BACKGROUND: Children and young adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be at increased risk of criminal offending. This study examines the risk of first-time and repeat offending among individuals with ADHD and potential effect of stimulant medication. METHODS: A population-based, data linkage cohort study of individuals born in New South Wales, Australia between 1990 and 2005 and followed until May 2016. All individuals a…
Understanding Attentional Functioning in Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder—Could This Improve Diagnostic Specificity
The diagnostic criteria for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) reflect the behavioural and functional outcomes of cognitive processes. Historically they have been based on external observations and lack specificity: clinical cohorts of children meeting diagnostic criteria show that around 40% may also meet diagnostic criteria for oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). We have proposed a clinical model to explain this: the Mental Effort…

METHODS: We reviewed studies with more than 2000 participants or meta-analyses from five or more studies or 2000 or more participants. We excluded meta-analyses that did not assess publication bias, except for meta-analyses of prevalence. For net…
