ADHD Voices

The VOICES Project team interviewed more than 150 children in the US and UK between the ages of 9-14. Some of the kids had ADHD and were taking stimulant medication, some had ADHD and were unmedicated and some of the kids we interviewed had no diagnosis at all (the control group).

Interviews with children are at the core of our research. Our interviews included talking, drawing, responding to a short story, and completing sentences. We asked children about behavior, ADHD, different sorts of treatments, and stimulant drugs. We asked them about their brains. We also collected material about their schools, homes and neighborhoods and about their families and friends.

We are currently drafting reports detailing the results of the VOICES study and these will be made available for download on this site later in the year (one for the US and one for the UK). Please use the 'contact' link at the top of the page to let us know if you'd like a copy of the report sent to you once it is available.
