New review out with @nihr-hprfa-orb.bsky.social
TL;DR: Future outbreaks (e.g., mpox) will keep requiring HCWs to self-isolate after exposure—but we still lack evidence-based interventions to protect their wellbeing. Time to fix that.

📢 New review out today!
Much of the recent evidence on ADHD prevalence since 2020 is low quality or outdated. Of 40 studies, only 4 had low risk of bias.
No clear 'surge', just a lack of solid data. We need better research to guide services and policy.

Has a lack of data effected the development of effective policies to treat #ADHD?
New research argues that there are "significant gaps" in the evidence base which has resulted in an unclear picture of ADHD prevalence.
