Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common condition with high societal burden. The present guidelines summarise current literature, generating expert consensus recommendations for the treatment of ADHD in children and adults. These also provide review recent research fields neuroimaging, neuropsychology genetics ADHD. Novel discoveries these areas have informed physiological models disease. Since publication previous British Association Psychopharmacology 2008, new drugs...
Symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are known to persist into adulthood in the majority cases.To determine prevalence methylphenidate, dexamfetamine and atomoxetine prescribing treatment discontinuation adolescents young adults.A descriptive cohort study using UK General Practice Research Database included patients aged 15-21 years from 1999 2006 with a prescription for drug.Prevalence averaged across all ages increased 6.23-fold over period. Overall, decreased age:...
High levels of alcohol use during pregnancy can lead to adverse physical and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. It remains uncertain whether there is a safe level drinking pregnancy. In this study we investigate very low consumption (<1 drink per week) are independently associated with childhood mental health problems (assessed at 3 time points between ages 4 8 years) these effects moderated by gender. We expected that only higher would be later any associations might more readily...
ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of increasing levels inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, and oppositional/defiant behaviors at age 7 years on academic achievement 16 years.MethodIn a population-based sample 7-year-old children in England, information was obtained about (using parent teacher ratings) presence attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs). After adjusting for confounder variables, their associations with national General...

Participants were (n = 3964) aged 12–16 years attending 8 secondary schools Midlands South West England. Over period 27% reported thoughts 15% at least act self-harm. Of those who self-harmed, less than five (18%) had sought help for psychological problems anxiety or depression. Compared boys, girls increased risk developing (OR...
<b>Objective</b> To compare the effectiveness of classroom based cognitive behavioural therapy with attention control and usual school provision for adolescents at high risk depression. <b>Design</b> Three arm parallel cluster randomised controlled trial. <b>Setting</b> Eight UK secondary schools. <b>Participants</b> Adolescents (n=5030) aged 12-16 years in year groups 8-11.

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is widely used to assess child adolescent mental health problems. However, the factor structure of SDQ subject debate there limited evidence investigating measurement equivalence invariance (ME/I) between treatment groups, informants, across time.A randomised controlled trial (RCT) recruited 250 participants (6-17 years) who had been referred for an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessment. Participants their clinician...
The Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) is a widely used scale that measures the core symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, there are contradictory findings regarding factor structure. Factor structure measurement equivalence/invariance analysis on parent teacher SNAP-IV for children referred an ADHD assessment ( N = 250; 6-17 years), revealed two-factor provided best fit. scores were also compared with clinician diagnosis research diagnoses...
Background Standardised Diagnostic Assessment tools, such as the Development and Well‐Being (DAWBA), may aid detection diagnosis of emotional disorders but there is limited real‐world evidence their clinical or cost effectiveness. Methods We conducted a multicentre, two‐arm parallel group randomised controlled trial in eight large National Health Service Trusts England providing multidisciplinary specialist Child Adolescent Mental Services (CAMHS).

It was predicted that children would use fewer "positive" resolve conflict, and reactive rather than pre-emptive strategies. Results showed frequency positive did not differ between groups. Mothers were less likely pre-emptive, more reactive,...

Patterns of alcohol consumption during pregnancy such as episodes binge drinking may be important average levels in conferring risk for later childhood mental health and learning problems. However, it can difficult to distinguish resulting from episodic or regular background drinking. This large study investigates whether patterns are independently associated with child cognitive outcomes, there gender differences risk, occasional higher carry any the absence daily pregnancy.This...
Background Observational studies have generated conflicting evidence on the effects of moderate maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy offspring cognition mainly reflecting problems confounding. Among mothers who drink fetal exposure is influenced not only by mother’s intake but also genetic variants carried both mother and fetus. Associations between children’s cognitive function child genotype at these loci can shed light development. Methods We used a large population based study...
Background Routine outcome measurement ( ROM ) in CAMHS is supported by U.K. Government policy. However, little known about how measures are used practice. Method Data describing use of , knowledge and attitudes regarding implementation were collected using a regional case‐note audit, online survey stakeholder workshop. Results While the principle was stakeholders, baseline follow‐up occurred less than fifth cases. Barriers to included lack training resources, clinicians' perceptions...
