"Webinar Why are girls less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD?" by Dr Joanna Martin

In this talk, Dr Martin will discuss some of the latest emerging findings on what we have learned about the genetic contributions to ADHD and how these relate to the gender difference in ADHD prevalence. Joanna will also outline the evidence for different theories of why ADHD may be missed and less likely to be diagnosed in girls than boys. Dr Joanna Martin is a Research Fellow at Cardiff University, affiliated with the Wolfson Centre for Young People’s Mental Health and the Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics. Her research interests bridge the fields of psychiatry, epidemiology, and genomics. She is funded by Health and Care Research Wales via an NIHR Advanced Fellowship. Her research focus is on understanding why girls are less likely than boys to be diagnosed with ADHD. Her work aims to improve knowledge and timely diagnosis of ADHD, particularly in girls. She is also interested in the impact of genetic risk factors on child mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions, as well as related population traits.
