2025 conference details and priority report
This report summarizes our event on ADHD in girls and women. The event brought together 86 clinicians and researchers to discuss clinical and research implications, as well as lived experience perspectives. Key themes included the need to adapt clinical practice, develop gender-inclusive assessment tools, and address the challenges of navigating ADHD without a diagnosis.
The conference also included a priority-setting workshop, which resulted in ranked lists of research and clinical priorities to advance understanding and support for girls and women with ADHD. Research priorities included promoting early identification, developing inclusive assessment tools, understanding co-occurring conditions, and investigating medication use and hormonal influences. Clinical priorities focused on earlier identification, reducing waiting times, improving diagnostic tools, enhancing training for healthcare professionals and educators, and delivering individualized treatment.
