This volume dissects the robustness of the agency's technology appraisal processes, as NICE evaluates innovative methods for diagnosis and intervention. Given the unique features of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) - starting with it being diagnosed mainly in children and adolescents, its high comorbidity with other psychiatric conditions, and its considerable economic impact - the disorder is a perfect focal point for discussion."--Jacket Analysis geneeskunde medicine volksgezondheid public health gezondheid health Medicine (General) Geneeskunde (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-238) and index Notes English Print version record In Springer eBooks Subject National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Great Britain) SUBJECT National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Great Britain) National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Great Britain) cct National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Great Britain) fast Subject Medical technology -- Evaluation Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder -- Diagnosis.
