Salience, Organisation and Management of Anxiety towards Time in Children with ADHD: A new model and intervention

多动症是澳大利亚一个主要的教育和公共卫生问题。在过去的十年里，全国范围内针对多动症患者的药物处方增加了26%，这意味着巨大的人力和经济负担。超过25%的ADHD患者同时患有焦虑症。在这种情况下，兴奋剂治疗的效果显著降低。该项目解决了时间管理和焦虑在青少年多动症患者混乱、冲动、无组织生活中的作用，为儿童和青少年在学校和家庭中的日常功能提供了显著的好处，同时也大大减少了社区在药物干预方面的支出。

ADHD is a major educational and public health problem in Australia. In the past decade, prescriptions of medication for individuals with ADHD rose 26% nationwide, representing enormous human and economic liabilities. Over 25% of individuals with ADHD also suffer comorbid anxiety disorders. In such cases, the efficacy of stimulant treatment is significantly reduced. Addressing the role of time management and anxiety in the chaotic, impulsive, disorganised lives of young people with ADHD, this project offers significant benefits to the everyday functioning of children and adolescents in school and home, as well as substantial reductions in community expenditure on pharmacological interventions.
