ADHD is one of the most common chronic childhood disorders in the U.S.; an estimated 9% of children ages 3—17 have a diagnosis of ADHD. Poverty further increases a child’s risk for ADHD, with greater prevalence among children living below the poverty level. These same communities, however, often have fewer providers equipped to properly diagnose and manage ADHD, with disparities in access to care for children living with ADHD also linked to race and ethnicity. Using the American Academy of Pediatrics ADHD Guidelines, ECHO-Chicago training in this series provides primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals, with the skills and knowledge to deliver care to children and adolescents at risk for ADHD in their local community health center. Our curriculum touches on everything from behavioral interventions to medication prescription and management, alternative medical options for treatment, and the impact of ADHD on sleep and learning. Though we focus on pediatric ADHD, we also spend a session focusing on ADHD in adults.

Sessions run for 13 weeks on Thursdays from 8:00am – 9:00am. To receive the ECHO Certificate of Participation, participants should attend at least 11 of the 13 sessions and present a patient case. 1 hour of CME can be claimed for each hour attended live on Zoom.
