N C Med J. 2020 Mar-Apr;81(2):122-125. doi: 10.18043/ncm.81.2.122.

Abstract

At present, data suggests that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder may be more prevalent in North Carolina than other states, but whether we are properly identifying and treating cases, in childhood and adulthood, is murky. Much innovative work to this end is being done in North Carolina, but more is needed.
