ADHD & telehealth

One of the benefits of telehealth services is that rural areas and under-served populations become accessible for evidence based treatments and services. In a recently published a study in Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, rural populations of children diagnosed with ADHD were given access to services through video and web-based educational sessions. [Myers et al., (2015). Effectiveness of a telehealth service delivery model for treating Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A community-based randomized controlled trial.] The research showed that the children who received treatment through telehealth services showed significantly more improvements according to the parents.
