Conceptualising and Measuring Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Across the Lifespan

该项目将探讨ADHD的概念和测量方法，以及它与整个生命周期中其他心理健康状况的联系。我们将研究ADHD的当前理论，并从心理测量学上评估儿童和成人使用的现有措施。该项目还将寻求澄清ADHD与其他神经发育（例如，自闭症）和心理健康状况。博士将由来自心理学，精神病学，神经科学和认知发展等一系列背景的学者团队监督，他们将更广泛地提供ADHD和神经发育条件的专业知识。通过与GW4 Neurodiversity Network等外部合作伙伴的合作，我们希望能够进一步了解神经发育状况，并为ADHD与心理健康之间的关系提供新的见解。

This project will explore the concept and measurement of ADHD and its links with other mental health conditions across the lifespan. We will examine current theories of ADHD and psychometrically evaluate existing measures used in children and adults. The project will also seek to clarify the links between ADHD and other neurodevelopmental (e.g., autism) and mental health conditions. The PhD will be supervised by a team of academics from a range of backgrounds including Psychology, Psychiatry, Neuroscience and Cognitive Development, who will lend their expertise on ADHD and neurodevelopmental conditions more broadly. In collaboration with external partners like the GW4 Neurodiversity Network, we hope to advance understanding of neurodevelopmental conditions and offer novel insights into the relationship between ADHD and mental health.
