About Us

This web site is the result of a research project that aims to promote early identification of ADHD in diverse communities using community-based participatory research. It is developed with inputs from our community advisory board, which includes eleven local community members who are parents of children diagnosed with ADHD. ​The research project is led by UCR psychiatry resident physician Dr. Margaret Yau and advised by Dr. Takesha Cooper, Dr. Richard Lee, and Dr. Kalina Michalska.  UCR medical student team members include Noah Baltrushes, Mariah Kim, Sani Shabgahi, Crystal Nguyen, and Nimra Ahmed.
