| dc.description.abstract | Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder
characterised by levels of inattention and/or increased hyperactivity/impulsivity. Medications
have been widely used as an effective ADHD treatment for many years. Despite the benefits of
medication, many caregivers are hesitant when it comes to starting and continuing ADHD
medication. The aim of this research project was to explore caregivers’ experiences of weaning
their children from ADHD medication. An exploratory research design was employed to explore
caregivers’ experiences of weaning their children from ADHD medication and the impact of the
discontinuation of medication on family functioning. | en_US |
