The Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) presents the Full Multimedia Archive of the Live DataSpeak program titled "Bringing ADHD Epidemiology to States: What could state-based estimates mean for your state?" which took place on September 7, 2011.

This web conference examined epidemiological trends in childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity over time, using data from the National Survey of Children’s Health. The presenters discussed the potential for using state-based estimates from this national, population-based survey to advance state health initiatives in the mental and behavioral health of children.
