The Laboratory for Neurocognitive and Imaging Research at Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore is actively recruiting children with ADHD for participation in a research study investigating inhibitory deficits and executive functioning in children 8-12 with and without ADHD.

The study involves an IQ test, paper and pencil tasks, computer activities, and an MRI of the brain. None of the tests are harmful or painful and all are done free of charge. There are no direct medical benefits for participating in the study, although each participant will receive a $50 check and a picture of their brain.

Parents will also receive a report summarizing the results of the IQ testing administered to their child, which can be used as part of a diagnostic work-up or for educational purposes . This study has been reviewed and approved by the Johns Hopkins Institutional Review Board (Principal Investigator: Stewart Mostofsky, MD). The study is currently listed on the main CHADD website.

If you have any questions, or would like to hear more about the study, please call or email me at (443) 923-9254 or koenigl@kennedykrieger.org.

CHADD National is working on a story with a journalist from the national media about AD/HD in women. The journalist is interested in interviewing several women in their 40s or 50s who’ve experienced extreme hardships because their AD/HD wasn’t identified early enough. If this applies to you and your interested in being interviewed, please send an email to Bryan Goodman, CHADD’s director of communications and media relations, at
