title: [Establishing the first ADHD centre in Denmark].
abstract: The ADHD-centre in the Region of Southern Denmark will harmonize evidence-based assessment and treatment for adults with ADHD at all psychiatric departments in the region. The incidence of patients with ADHD differed substantially between departments. The majority of the heads of the departments reported a great need for harmonization of the area and 85% were positive towards a central regional coordination of this. The ADHD-centre will implement educational programmes in assessment instruments throughout the region.
