Summary

Inattentive behaviors are a common childhood condition that presents to the general pediatrician. While some of these behaviors are expected during childhood, others need work-up to ensure optimal functioning at home and school. A number of these children ultimately go on to have a mental health conditions, such as ADHD. However, inattentive symptoms represent a broad spectrum of potential behavioral and mental health conditions, such as pediatric anxiety which can masquerade as or co-exist with ADHD. Treatment is quite different and general pediatricians must have ways to facilitate the accurate identification of children needing further work-up and referral. Health information technology can greatly improve pediatricians' ability to identify and refer children with inattentive symptoms for further work-up. This study represents initial work to revise an existing computer decision support system's module for identification of ADHD to include screening questions and prompts for anxiety.
