ADD/ADHD Online Information

UK Research Project - Posted October 15th 2012

Are you the mother of a child aged between 6 and 11 years old who has a
primary diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

This is a unique opportunity to participate in a UK-wide research study to help identify way in which parents of children with ADHD can be better supported by professionals to plan interventions that are best suited to the needs of children and their parents.

I am Bryony Almond, a Trainee Educational Psychologist at the University of Southampton with a strong interest in supporting parents of children with ADHD. I hope that this research will help develop a better understanding of the links between mothers' views of their child's difficult behaviour and their preferences for three different interventions currently available for ADHD.

If you have a child who has been formally diagnosed with ADHD (hyperactive, inattentive, or combined-type) and is between 6 and 11 years old, I would like to invite you to take part in this research. Your participation would involve completing a questionnaire that should take you no longer than 35 minutes.

Everyone who takes part in the study will be given the chance to enter a prize draw to win one of 10 £25 shopping vouchers. You would be playing a vital role in contributing to psychological research in supporting children with ADHD and their parents.

If you are willing to take part, please visit the online questionnaire Survey now closed via the secure University-based website at your convenience . If you would prefer to complete a paper version of the questionnaire, please contact me via email and I will post the questionnaire pack to you with a stamped addressed envelope. You are welcome to request a summary of the research findings once the study is completed.

This research is supervised by Dr Hanna Kovshoff, Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Southampton.

Your help with this research is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in anticipation
