AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore differences in the care patterns for adult ADHD among various racial and ethnic groups, particularly focusing on diagnosis, treatment, and medication prescribing.
- Researchers analyzed a large dataset from the AAFP National Research Network, which included data from over 4 million patients to assess the achievement of 10 ADHD quality measures (QMs) over a decade.
- Findings indicated that White and Non-Hispanic/Latinx patients were more likely to meet quality measures compared to Non-White and Hispanic/Latinx patients, highlighting a significant disparity in ADHD care that warrants further investigation.
Article Abstract
Objective: Examine differences in care patterns around adult ADHD between race (White/Non-White) and ethnic (Hispanic/Non-Hispanic) groups utilizing existing quality measures (QMs), concerning diagnosis, treatment, and medication prescribing.
Methods: The AAFP National Research Network in partnership with SUNY Upstate Medical used an EHR dataset to evaluate achievement of 10 ADHD QMs. The dataset was obtained from DARTNet Institute and includes 4 million patients of 873 behavioral and primary care practices with at least 100 patients from 2010 to 2020. Patients 18-years or older with adult ADHD were included in this analysis.
Results: White patients and Non-Hispanic/Latinx patients were more likely to achieve these QMs than Non-White patients and Hispanic/Latinx patients, respectively. Differences between groups concerning medication and monitoring demonstrate a disparity for Non-White and Hispanic/Latinx populations.
Conclusions: Using QMs in EHR data can help identify gaps in ADHD research. There is a need to continue investigating disparities of quality adult ADHD care.

Identifying neural markers of clinical symptom fluctuations is prerequisite to developing more precise brain-targeted treatments in psychiatry. We have recently shown that working memory (WM) in healthy adults is dependent on the rise and fall interplay between alpha/beta and gamma bursts within frontoparietal regions, and that deviations in these patterns lead to WM performance errors. However, it is not known whether such bursting deviations underlie clinically relevant WM-related symptoms or clinical status in individuals with WM deficits.

Purpose: Structured HCT models addressing planning, transfer, and integration into adult care for adolescents and young adults with childhood-acquired chronic conditions are becoming more prevalent. However, consensus on outcome measures to assess health care transition (HCT) interventions particularly for intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) population is lacking. This scoping review identified potential HCT outcome measures for young adults (aged 18-26) with IDD using the Quadruple Aim Framework.

While available for decades, the use of bupropion has increased in recent years. To provide an updated review on the use of bupropion, this article aimed to describe bupropion prescription details, potential indication, and treatment duration in children, young adults, and adults starting bupropion treatment. Individuals aged 6-64 newly initiating bupropion hydrochloride treatment were identified from commercial claims data (MarketScan, 1/1/2016-12/31/2022).
