This article provides a summary of ADHD, predominately inattentive. While it is good background information, it does not offer any new insights into managing the condition with medication or behavior theraphy. In fact, more than one section provides information about other types of ADHD and states “…results specific to this subtype are not yet available” or “…in the IN subtyple is not yet clear.”
The article is 4 pages long, but almost 2 pages are reference citations. It is well written and easily understood by the layperson (parent, in this case). The first page details Prevalence, Symptoms and Comorbidity. The second page focuses on Assessment, Etiology and Treatment. While the article is clincially sound, it offers no real information to a parent wanting to help their child.
Despite the title, the article actually typifies much of the available information (or lack thereof) on the inattentive type. Apparently there is much more interest in ADHD with behavioral problems not just in diagnosis and support, but in research dollars as well. This article highlighted areas were more research is needed rather than offering conclusions.
This article does not strike me as one that would be of interest to [...] customers. Medical professions would likely seek information elsewhere.
