Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of this research?
This research aims to identify if there is a significant difference in the prevalence of ADHD among those employed in the performing arts sector, compared to the general population.
Our hope is that, if there is a greater prevalence, that we can use that information to better support the needs of the workers in this industry, and equip managers to understand the needs of their employees with ADHD.
How will my data be used?

Our survey asks questions about yourself, your professional experience in the arts, and questions about Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
