Child Health Measurement Project

Measuring ADHD Outcomes Conference

The American Academy of Pediatrics organized a conference in July 2005 to consider new evidence and methods for measuring outcomes in ADHD. A diverse group of clinicians and researchers discussed the typically unmeasured, yet substantial social, educational and economic facets of ADHD.  Research papers presented at the conference were published in the supplement to the January-February 2007 Ambulatory Pediatrics and also in a special issue of the Journal of Pediatric Psychology (July 2007;32(6)).

  • AAP News (March 2007) published a research article covering the ADHD conference and supplements. This article conveys the considerable burden that ADHD causes children and their families as well as the economic impact.

Conference Planning Committee:James M. Perrin, MD, FAAP, Chair, Karen Kuhlthau, PhD, Heidi Marsh Feldman, MD, PhD, Donald Lollar, EdD, William Pelham, Jr, PhD, Thomas Spencer, MD, Lynn Olson, PhD, and Edward Zimmerman, MS
