Neuroimaging in Childhood Cohort (NICHE)
NICHE aimed to identify subgroups of individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) based on their overall pattern of neuropsychological performance. The study recruited participants aged 6 to 25 with ADHD from the University Medical Center Utrecht Outpatient Clinic for Developmental Disorders in the Netherlands. Only ADHD participants on no or short-acting medication were included in the study. Age-matched control participants were recruited from the surrounding Utrecht area. At baseline, the cohort comprised over 200 individuals.
