Proposed Project

    Longitudinal Follow-up of Youth with Attention-Deficit/
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Identified in Community Settings: 
Examining Health Status, Correlates, and Effects Associated with 
Treatment for ADHD--New--National Center on Birth Defects and 
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This project will collect data from proxy respondents and youths 
with and without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This 
program addresses the Healthy People 2010 focus area of Mental Health 
and Mental Disorders, and describes the prevalence, incidence, long-
term outcomes, treatment(s), select co-morbid conditions, secondary 
conditions, and health risk behavior of youth with ADHD relative to 
youth without ADHD.
    In FY 2002-FY 2005 two cooperative agreements (transitioned to 
extramural research) were awarded to conduct community-based 
epidemiological research on ADHD among elementary-aged youth, known as 
the Project to Learn about ADHD in Youth (PLAY Study Collaborative, 
OMB 0920-0584, expired on March 31, 2006). These studies 
provided community-based prevalence, rates of co-morbidity, and rates 
of health risk behaviors among elementary-age youth with and without 
ADHD as determined by a rigorous case definition developed by the 
principal investigators in collaboration with CDC scientists.
    The purpose of this program is to study the long-term outcomes and 
health status for children with ADHD identified and treated in 
community settings through a systematic follow-up of the subjects who 
participated in the PLAY Study Collaborative. There is considerable 
interest in the long-term outcomes of youth with ADHD as well as the 
effects of treatment, lack of treatment, and quality of care in average 
U.S. communities, emphasizing the public health importance of 
longitudinal research in this area. There are no costs to the 
respondents other than their time.
