Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Adult | US | 2021

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood disorder that can persist into adulthood, although diagnosis and treatment initiation can occur at any age. Data suggest that diagnosis and drug-treatment rates among adults have historically lagged behind those of pediatric patients, but growing awareness of ADHD as an adult disorder—influenced, in part, by updated diagnostic criteria—has, in recent years, fueled greater industry focus on treating adult patients. Psychostimulants, nonstimulants, and amphetamines are key therapies for this population. This study uses national patient-level claims data to determine the prescribing patterns of drugs for adult patients with ADHD.

• What percentage of adult ADHD patients receive drug therapy within a month of diagnosis? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within one year of diagnosis?
• What percentage of adult ADHD patients receive monotherapy versus combination therapy? What are the most commonly used combinations?
