What have we found
-
A number of objective measures are available for use in assisting the diagnosis and monitoring of ADHD in children.
-
There is uncertain evidence for value of using continuous performance tests (CPTs) to support clinical decision making and for monitoring medication for ADHD.
-
The addition of objective activity measures to CPTs, such as the QbTest, has strong support for differentiating those with and without ADHD, sensitive to the effects of medication.
