What this trial studies

This is a cross-sectional, online observational study enrolling people assigned female at birth or identifying as girls/women, aged 10 and older, in Canada. It collects a multi-dimensional survey on ADHD symptoms, hormonal/developmental life phases, childhood experiences, health, and psychosocial outcomes. The study aims to enroll at least 1,460 participants across five age groups, with child participants enrolled with a parent dyad; some strata may be overrecruited to account for reporting variability and developmental processes. All participation is remote and available in English and French, with data analyzed to explore associations by age, life stage, and diagnostic status.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, findings could improve understanding of how ADHD affects health and resilience across different life stages in girls and women.

How similar studies have gone: Previous observational work has explored ADHD in girls and women, but this study adds a large, life-span perspective with multi-domain health data in a Canadian population.
