Find detailed, data-driven information on the efficacy and side effects of ADHD interventions in a free, interactive platform called Evidence Based Interventions-ADHD (EBI-ADHD), the product of a massive umbrella review published in the British Medical Journal.1
EBI-ADHD was created to satisfy the need for accessible information about a wide array of ADHD interventions, and its findings were drawn from 221 meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials that explore ADHD treatments in adults and kids, as well as from the ADHD community itself.

From ADDitudemag.com, the ADDitude Symptom Checker will guides a user through a series of questions based on their primary concerns, and then compare responses to symptoms of more than a dozen common psychological and learning conditions. At the end, users receive a list of the psychiatric or learning conditions (if any apply) with symptoms similar those cited — and resources for further exploration.

CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a national organization that empowers people affected by ADHD by providing evidence-based information; supporting individuals, their families, and professionals who assist them throughout their journeys; and advocating for equity, inclusion, and universal rights.
The National Resource Center on ADHD (NRC), a program of CHADD, was established to be the national clearinghouse for the latest evidence-based information on ADHD. It is primarily funded through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD). The NRC serves as a National Public Health Practice and Resource Center (NPHPRC) with the mission to provide information, education and consultation about assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and issues of health and well-being for children with ADHD and their families.
