February 26, 2025Dear Secretary Kennedy,As the Make America Healthy Again Commission begins its evaluation of published research on the chronic health conditions impacting American children, we urge it to consult with the esteemed clinicians associated with the American Professional Society of ADHD and Related Disorders (APSARD), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the World Federation of ADHD regarding the established science on ADHD causes and treatments.
Consensus within these groups, and among ADHD researchers worldwide, is strong and consistent regarding the following evidence-based findings:Thank you for reviewing the evidence-based research highlighted above.
We welcome follow-up questions from the Commission as it devises recommendations based on science that may benefit the health and wellbeing of the 22 million Americans with ADHD, whom ADDitude has served for the last 26 years.
