Advancing Identification of Circadian Delay in ADHD Youth - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to learn more about sleep and body rhythms in children with ADHD. We will use home-based measures, parent reports, and an evening test to see how sleep affects mental health and thinking skills. Dr. Jessica Lunsford-Avery from the Department of Psychiatry is leading this study.
What is the Condition Being Studied?
Trastorno de hiperactividad y déficit de atención (THDA)

What is Involved?
If you and your child choose to join this study, they will:
- Come to three study visits to answer questions and do tests about your child's attention, behavior, mental health, and sleep. One visit will be at night to check melatonin levels.
- Wear a small watch-like device for seven days to track sleep. You will also fill out a short online diary about your child's sleep each day that they are wearing this patch.
- Wear a skin temperature sensor each night from after dinner until morning.
- Sleep on a mattress sensor that tracks movement, sleep, and heart rate.
The study visits will happen at the Duke North Pavilion building on Pratt Street in Durham.
