Researchers want to understand whether children with ADHD have different immune system patterns compared to children without ADHD. This study will take a small blood sample from children in both groups and examine 41 different immune markers using specialized technology. The researchers will also test thinking and attention skills and look at brain structure with an MRI scan to see if immune differences relate to ADHD symptoms.
While ADHD is common in children, doctors still don't fully understand what causes it. Some research suggests the immune system may play a role. This study aims to find biological clues that could eventually lead to better diagnosis and treatment options.

If you're selected, you'll visit the hospital for an evaluation appointment where a psychiatrist will interview you and your family about your health history. You'll have a small blood sample taken (about a teaspoon), complete some tests of your thinking and attention skills, and get an MRI scan of your head — all of which are standard medical procedures. The whole process happens over a single visit or a few scheduled appointments.
