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

这个项目将探索多动症的概念和测量方法，以及它与整个生命周期中其他精神健康状况的联系。我们将研究目前的ADHD理论，并从心理测量学上评估儿童和成人使用的现有测量方法。该项目还将寻求澄清多动症与其他神经发育（如自闭症）和精神健康状况之间的联系。博士将由来自心理学、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进行监督，他们将在更广泛的范围内提供ADHD和神经发育条件方面的专业知识。通过与GW4神经多样性网络等外部合作伙伴的合作，我们希望推进对神经发育状况的理解，并为多动症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.
