Developmental Origins of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Inattention, Impulsivity, Anxiety

In brief

This is a study evaluating the relationship between prenatal nutrition and neural development in infants born to mothers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We are hypothesizing that women randomized to a whole food, nutrient-dense diet during their 3rd trimester of pregnancy will have infants with more advanced neural development as compared to infants born to mothers receiving standard-of-care treatment.
