Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Adult | US | 2023

Attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood mental health disorders that can continue into adulthood. This condition entails several recurring problems, including impulsivity, hyperactivity, and difficulties paying attention. Low self-esteem, unstable relationships, subpar career or academic performance, and other issues might result from ADHD in adults. Diagnosis and drug treatment among adults have historically trailed behind those of pediatric patients. However, as the prevalence of ADHD in adult patients has increased in recent years, so has industry attention towards studying adult ADHD patients in clinical trials and including these additional data in the labels for drugs earlier approved for childhood ADHD. Given the availability of multiple drugs for ADHD, it is valuable for drug marketers and developers to understand physicians’ actual prescribing behavior in adult ADHD patients. This study uses national patient-level claims data to determine the prescribing patterns of drugs for adult ADHD patients.
