Stephen Hinshaw, PhD (Professor, University of California, Berkeley) shares evidence of multiple factors underlying inattention and high impulsivity, which combine to create the ADHD syndrome. He highlights distinct precursors and outcomes, describing the interaction of developmental and contextual influences, including genetics, biology, parenting, school policies, and cultural values. Dr. Hinshaw emphasizes the importance of a multi-pronged intervention approach for better results.
