| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined the efficacy of actigraphs in screening for ADHD symptoms in 1.5-year-old children who were born as preterm infants and had medical treatment in NICUs. Actigraphs are small devices that detect and store movement data for later analysis of levels of activity, sleep and wake parameters, and circadian rhythm parameters.1 Such data collection and analysis capabilities make actigraphy a useful tool for objec¬tively studying attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), since this disorder is by definition associated with hyperactivity and with sleep problems.
