International Collaboration on ADHD and Substance Abuse: Consensus statements

Thursday, 24 October, 2024 - 10:50 to 12:20

In 2005 the International Collaboration on ADHD and Substance Abuse (ICASA) was founded with the following mission: to contribute to decrease the proportion of ADHD patients developing a substance use disorder (SUD) and to improve the detection, diagnosis and treatment of patients with ADHD and SUD. 

Currently, ICASA has 59 participants from 29 centers in 17 countries from 5 continents. 

Meanwhile, ICASA conducted four epidemiological and treatment studies and published two consensus statements on the screening, diagnosis and treatment of patients with ADHD and SUD: one for children and adolescents and one for adults.

In this presentation, I will describe the process within ICASA that was used to reach at these consensus statements and the progress of a recent update of the consensus statement for adults.
