Abstract
2010 Sage Science Award
Journal of Attention Disorders (JAD) and Sage Publishers are pleased to announce the 2010 winner of the Sage Science Award for an article making an important contribution to the science of ADHD published in our journal. This year’s winner was chosen by a committee of JAD editorial board members. This year’s award goes to Drs. Booksh, Pella, Singh, and Gouvier. Their article titled “Ability of College Students to Simulate ADHD and Objective Measures of Attention” (JAD 13, pp. 325-338) examined the ability of college students to simulate ADHD symptoms on objective and self-report measures and the relationship between knowledge of ADHD and ability to simulate ADHD. During a time in which more and more students are seeking accommodations in college due to ADHD symptoms and impairments, this research addresses important issues related to accurately evaluating symptoms and impairments of ADHD in college students. The authors will be provided with a cash award from Sage Publishers.

JAD and Multi-Health Systems Publishers are pleased to announce the 2010 winner of the MHS Keith Conners Award for scholarly contribution in the field of ADHD. The award is cosponsored by Dr. Conners and MHS. This year’s winner, titled “Is the Inattentive Subtype of ADHD Different From the Combined/Hyperactive Subtype?” was chosen by Dr. Conners and an MHS Committee. The winning article, authored by Drs. Grizenko, Paci, and Joober, investigated the inattentive subtype of ADHD as different from the combined/hyperactive subtype (JAD 13, pp. 649-657). In choosing the winner, the MHS committee noted that this article contained a clear, simple yet elegant, randomized control trial in attempting to provide support for the differences between clinical subgroups. The committee felt that this article made a strong contribution to the field. The winners will receive a cash prize from MHS.
