QbTest for the assessment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Equality considerations

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is most commonly diagnosed in children and young people. ADHD is thought to be under-recognised in girls and women. Age and sex are protected characteristics under the 2010 Equality Act.

The QbTest is not suitable for people aged under 6 years and people who have visual impairment. Age and disability are protected characteristics under the 2010 Equality Act.
