The Relationship Between Religion And Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Philip B. Mason
The Relationship Between Religion And Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Philip B. Mason
Theses and Dissertations
Research shows that religious people have higher levels of self-control.

Existing reviews of adult ADHD rating scales are limited with respect to their focus, coverage of some clinically relevant content, and/or their reflection of the most recent scales and data. Thus, the current project aimed to identify and thoroughly review current adult ADHD rating scales best suited for clinical practice. Inclusionary and exclusionary criteria aimed at identifying readily available, clinically-oriented scales for assessing ADHD symptoms in adults. The criteria yielded the following …
