Dear Parent, Health Care Professional, or Educator:

Are you interested in keeping informed about the latest research on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, also referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder? If so, let me invite you to subscribe to Attention Research Update, a free e-mail newsletter that helps parents, professionals, and educators stay informed about important new research on ADHD treatments and related ADHD issues.

As a research psychologist at Duke University, I spend hours each month reviewing new studies on ADHD that are published in leading medical and psychology journals.  For each monthly issue of Attention Research Update I select a study that I believe subscribers will find especially interesting, and do my best to provide an objective review of the findings.

The studies reviewed include research on promising new ADHD treatments, educational strategies for children with ADHD, how ADHD impacts development, and a variety of other issues.  I've written the newsletter for over ten years and am pleased that over 35,000 subscribers have come to rely on Attention Research Update as an objective source of scientific information on ADHD.  I am confident that you will also find the newsletter to be an informative and useful resource.

General ADHD Information Articles

In addition to receiving Attention Research Update, which will keep you informed about the latest published research on ADHD treatments and attention deficit disorder symptoms, I've put together a collection of articles on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder/Attention Deficit Disorder that you may find helpful. The topics covered include diagnostic criteria, evaluation guidelines, ADHD in girls, behavioral treatment, medication treatment, the impact of ADHD in siblings, long-term outcomes, and educational rights for children with ADHD. You will also find thorough overviews of the two ADHD treatments that currently enjoy the strongest research support - behavioral treatment and medication treatment.

As noted above, there are two other benefits to signing up for a complimentary subscription to Attention Research Update. First, you'll receive immediate access to detailed summaries of some of the most important studies of ADHD treatments, attention deficit disorder symptoms, new assessment techniques, and developmental studies of ADHD that have been published over the past 7 years. I am confident that you will find information in my collection of past issues that will be of strong interest to you.

Finally, new subscribers can request a complimentary copy of the ADHD Monitoring System, a simple but effective tool I developed that can be used to monitor the ongoing effectiveness of ADHD treatments that a child is receiving. Careful treatment monitoring is important for promoting the long-term success of children with ADHD, and this tool will greatly assist you in this task.

Thank you again for visiting. I hope that you become a subscriber and that Attention Research Update will be a helpful resource for you to learn more about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder/Attention Deficit Disorder.

Sincerely,

David Rabiner, Ph.D.
