Understanding ADHD in women

Dr Jessica Agnew-Blais's research investigates the development of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across the life span, including how genetic and environmental risk factors are associated with ADHD course and outcomes. Her current research focuses on ADHD among girls and women, and the role of hormonal fluctuations. Dr Agnew-Blais was recently awarded the Vice Principal's Award for Excellence and Collegiality in Research and Education, celebrating her all round outstanding contribution to psychology research and education.

To celebrate this important research, Queen Mary Faculty of Science and Engineering is delighted to present this short video clip of Jess explaining her inclusive research programme and how it incorporates the perspective of people with ADHD. As Dr Agnew-Blais says "no research about us without us".
