Objective:
To describe the questions youth with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) checked on a question prompt list and evaluate the extent to which youth asked these questions during medical visits.
Methods:
English-speaking adolescents (N = 102) aged 11 to 17 years with ADHD were enrolled from 2 pediatric primary care clinics in North Carolina; this work focuses on the 52 adolescents in the intervention group. Adolescents who received the intervention watched an educational video and completed a prompt list before visits. Medical visits were recorded, transcribed, and coded for questions asked during visits. The questions adolescents checked on the prompt list were compared with the questions they asked during visits.
Results:
Adolescents checked an average of 5.6 questions on the prompt list. Forty percent of adolescents who checked a question asked at least 1 question they checked during visits. The most common questions adolescents checked and asked about ADHD were, "Should I reduce my screen time to help with ADHD?" (50.0%) and "Will I grow out of ADHD?" (34.4%). The most common questions adolescents checked and asked about ADHD treatment were, "Should I take my ADHD medicine before I play sports?" (33.3%), "Should I take my ADHD medicine while I am at school?" (28.6%), and "Would talking to a counselor help my ADHD?" (28.6%).
Conclusion:
Adolescents with ADHD have many questions about ADHD; however, about 60% (n = 31) did not ask any of the questions they checked on the prompt list. Future research should examine how to encourage youth who receive a question prompt list intervention to ask questions during visits.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
01:27Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.

Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
