Academics
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published a clinical practice guideline that provides recommendations based on the best available medical evidence (evidence-based) for the diagnosis and treatment of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This guideline is intended for use by healthcare providers working in primary care settings, like pediatricians and family physicians.
