Research

My current research explores the question of why the United States has such comparatively high rates of diagnosis and treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).  I work with children and adults with ADHD, as well as doctors, educators, and pharmaceutical representatives. The first phase of my project consists of multi-sited research in the United States, and I hope to complete comparative work in Germany and the Netherlands during the second phase of my project.
