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

这个项目将探索ADHD的概念和测量方法，以及它与其他终生精神健康状况的联系。我们将研究ADHD的现有理论，并对儿童和成人使用的现有测量方法进行心理测量学评估。该项目还将寻求澄清ADHD与其他神经发育(例如自闭症)和精神健康状况之间的联系。博士学位将由来自心理学、精神病学、神经科学和认知发展等不同背景的学者组成的团队监督，他们将在更广泛的ADHD和神经发育疾病方面提供专业知识。通过与GW4神经多样性网络等外部合作伙伴的合作，我们希望促进对神经发育状况的了解，并为ADHD和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.
