Research Interests
Professor Hinshaw and his research group have two primary research and clinical interests: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Stigmatization of Mental Illness. Professor Hinshaw has a longstanding research program investigating developmental mechanisms underlying ADHD and associated behavioral and emotional problems. His research program exemplifies several central tenets guiding the study of developmental psychopathology; namely (a) ascertaining continuities across, and discontinuities between, normal and atypical development; (b) examining the contribution of familial and peer relationships to normative and non-normative behavior; and (c) considering the interplay of psychobiological and psychosocial factors related to the causation and maintenance of disordered behavior patters.
Current NIMH-funded projects include (1) the Multi-modal Treatment Study of ADHD (MTA Study), for which follow-up assessments are being conducted on young adults who participated in this treatment study in 1995 and 1996; (2) the Long-Term Follow-Up Study of Girls with ADHD, which currently is conducting 10-year follow-up assessments of girls with ADHD who participated in research-based summer programs in 1997, 1998, and 1999; and (3) the Child Life and Attention Skills (CLAS) program is now underway.
