About

This web site is a result of a research project at UC Riverside School of Medicine that aims to promote early identification of ADHD in diverse communities using community-based participatory research. It is developed with inputs from our community advisory board, which includes eleven local community members who are parents of children diagnosed with ADHD. The research project is led by UCR psychiatry resident physician Dr. Margaret Yau and advised by Dr. Takesha Cooper, Dr. Richard Lee, and Dr. Kalina Michalska. UCR medical student team members include Noah Baltrushes, Mariah Kim, Crystal Nguyen, and Nimra Ahmed.

This project was made possible through the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) Pilot Research Award for Attention Disorders, supported by AACAP’s Elaine Schlosser Lewis Fund; its contents are the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official views of AACAP nor AACAP’s Elaine Schlosser Lewis Fund.
