Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):  Assessment, Diagnosis and Evidence-based Practices for Children and Adults Presenting in the Primary Care Clinic.

Date/Time:  March 4, 2014; 2-3:30 p.m. (EST)

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is one of the most prevalent childhood neurobehavioral disorders that may continue through adolescence and into adulthood.  Statistics report ADHD annually affects close to 4.1 percent of American adults 18 years and older and 9 percent of American children between 13 and 18 years (National Institute of Mental Health, 2010).  Current research reports outpatient visits for ADHD increased from 6.2 million in 2000 to 10.4 million in 2010 (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2012).

Children and adults with ADHD frequently access care through a primary care venue, where the internal behavioral health consultant (IBHC) role is vital to guide appropriate assessment, diagnosis and treatment.  This webinar will review the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth edition (DSM-5) changes to the ADHD diagnosis and present evidence-based practices in the primary care setting.

You are invited to the Deployment Health Clinical Center (DHCC), Internal Behavioral Health Consultant Sustainment Training, March 2014 Webinar titled, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):  Assessment, Diagnosis and Evidence-based Practices for Children and Adults Presenting in the Primary Care Clinic.  We look forward to your participation on Tuesday, March 4, 2014 from 2-3:30 p.m. (EST).  Below are the event details and instructions for participating.
