The Pittsburgh ADHD Risk in Infancy Study (PARIS) enrolled 78 infants between the ages of 6-11 months and their biological parents, with and without ADHD, to examine the development of attention in infants and toddlers at high and low risk for ADHD. Outcomes from this study could provide information regarding the ability to detect risk for inattention in the first year of life. This is a critical first step towards the ultimate goal of early identification and intervention for children at risk for ADHD.
