RESEARCH PARTICIPANT REQUESTS
ADHD Women research project
The project seeks to contribute intersectional, critical and ADHD-affirmative knowledge to the existing gap in knowledge about ADHD women. In doing so, it moves away from 'medical model of ADHD' that dominates what we know about ADHD and ADHD women. It centres ADHD women’s own voices – I am also an ADHD woman.
This is an invite for ADHD women in England (UK) to take part in the survey. The survey consists of background questions and six open questions. (After that, there is the option to be approached for phase 2.) The survey is open till 14 Oct 2022(click here to go to the survey directly).
ADHD women who can participate need to be at least 20yo, live in England (UK), and have 24 months of experience living as an ADHD woman. They also need to fit one of two criteria:
- They have received their diagnosis 24 months before filling in the survey through the NHS or privately via Right to Choose
- They currently receive ADHD medication through the NHS (including privately via a ‘shared care agreement’).
A special invite to black, brown and roma ADHD women; working class ADHD women; ADHD women of faith; lesbian, bi and queer ADHD women; trans and non-binary ADHD women; and ADHD women who are also otherwise disabled.
