or place convenient for you.
Which families are eligible?
Families with at least one child (age 6-19) with a diagnosis o f ADHD.
Families with at least two people (the ADHD child and one parent). Hopefully both parents
and siblings will participate as well.
Families that are willing to participate in one interview and complete a series ofquestionnaires.
Families that speak English or are willing to work through an interpreter.
Parents that are able to read and write at the 5th grade level or are willing to have the questions
read to them.
AU information will be held strictly confidential.
There will be no cost to you for participating in the research.
In appreciation of your time and contribution,
Each family will receive $50 after each meeting for a possible total of
$100.
If interested please call 503-494-4122.
