| Purpose: |
|
The objective of this protocol is to establish a comprehensive screening process to evaluate
the eligibility of potential adult subjects for appropriate ADHD clinical research studies
|
| Study Summary: |
|
To address the needs of the large number of adults who contact the Adult ADHD Program at
Massachusetts General Hospital annually, we have sought approval for several research
studies aimed at evaluating critical components of the needs of this population. Potential
participants for those studies present with a widely varied set of complaints not always
discernable in a telephone screening interview. This state of affairs often makes it
difficult to ask subjects to sign a specific protocol's consent form without obtaining
additional clinical information. Because of this, we have potential subjects consent to
undergo an in-depth clinical assessment that will allow them to be screened by a clinician
for eligibility to a diverse clinical research program available to them.
