Research Study to Learn about Fathers of Children with ADHD

[Anonymous]

University of Maryland at College Park is conducting a research study to learn more about fathers who have children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) so that we can eventually use this knowledge to improve treatment for families of children with ADHD. If you are the biological father of a 5 - 12 year old child with ADHD or undiagnosed significant attention/disruptive behavior problems, you may be eligible for this study.

Your participation in this study would consist of completing online questionnaires which will take approximately 30 minutes. You will be asked questions about your parenting, your own behavior and emotions, and your child’s behavior.

As compensation for your participation, you will be entered into a drawing with a 1 in 50 chance of receiving a $50 Amazon gift certificate.

If you are interested, please follow the link below to the study. This link will direct you to all informed consent documents and the study.

If you are the mother of a child with ADHD, we would greatly appreciate if you would consider forwarding this study information to your child's father.

You can flame me for this, but know that I truly don't care!!! And nor will I respond to your responses. These "nouveau" childhood disorders are NOT genetic, no matter how many studies they try to do to prove it so. The Powers That BE are doing their best to create a genetic link so that they don't have to take responsibility for the immense damage that has been done to our children, as well as some of us who are suffering effects of chemical/pharmaceutical toxicity. No scientific evidence will convince me...today's science is sorely flawed!!

Then could it be age related? Older father, more likelihood of a disorder?

You "don't care" so much that you bother to respond? I pity your insanity.

Sorry but my DH and DD have exactly the same ADHD issues. Why would you think it's not genetic?
