Summary
This study explores whether a child's genetic makeup influences how well they respond to the ADHD medication methylphenidate. Researchers will track symptom changes and side effects in 400 participants aged 6-24 across Western Canada. The goal is to find genetic markers that could one day help personalize ADHD treatment.
