Our goal is to help clinicians better evaluate and treat children with ADHD and to improve communications with schools. Families of over 100 children who were identified and tracked in the above school-screening project have had diagnostic information gathered by CHADIS and provided to their doctors. We will be assisting these pediatricians through CHADIS with consultation and CHADIS diagnostic tools for these children and others under their care. As a baseline we collected information from a sample of 30 pediatricians in Southern Mississippi regarding their clinical efforts with regard to ADHD care. These pediatricians were already treating children with ADHD – 94% medicate children for ADHD, 84% say they treat the cases in their practice most of the time by themselves. Sixty-nine percent frequently medicate these children and 89% of these continue to treat these patients themselves, even if the initial medication treatments were not effective and 84% will treat even those children known to have "co-morbid" diagnoses. However, only 44% report being adequately trained to evaluate these more complicated children at all. Only 26% reported using teacher ratings to make a diagnosis and only 28% say they used the ratings to monitor and adjust follow-up care. Sixty-nine percent of the pediatricians report that getting needed teacher data is somewhat or very difficult to obtain and an additional 6% say they never obtain it. While 42% say they always use an ADHD specific rating parent rating, only 22% use a general parent rating scale that might be used to screen for the frequently associated or co-morbid diagnoses. The CHADIS-DSM that we are providing these pediatricians is specifically intended to address these deficiencies as well as help with required communication with the school.
