Breaking the Barriers: Advocating for More Research on Women with ADHD

The Women Demand Attention initiative is calling for more research on women with ADHD, as there is currently a significant lack of understanding and treatment options. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the need for research that accurately reflects the experiences of girls and women with ADHD across their lifespan. By addressing this issue, diagnostic and treatment outcomes can be improved for women with ADHD.

Julia Schechter, Ph.D., from the Duke Center for Girls and Women with ADHD, emphasizes the importance of this research. She notes that it is not only an equity issue but also a matter of life or death for some girls and women. This initiative encourages individuals to download a free calendar with actionable steps to promote gender equality in health research. The calendar will provide insights on ADHD in women, with one task for each day in May 2024.

Additude is advocating for more research on women with ADHD, highlighting the significant lack of understanding and treatment options currently available. By conducting more research specifically devoted to this population, diagnostic and treatment outcomes can be improved for women with ADHD. Join the movement to demand gender equity in research and support greater understanding and treatment options for women with ADHD.
