Facebook App

For this search I used the Facebook App. 

On the Facebook app I typed in ADHD in children into the search bar. I found an article from the Washington Post titled Could some ADHD be a type of sleep disorder? That would fundamentally change how we treat it.

This article discusses the commonality of ADHD symptoms and symptom of people with sleep issues. "Sleep problems fall into three categories: insufficient sleep, insomnia and disordered breathing. All are common among young children. Some studies estimate that their prevalence might be as high as 20 to 40 percent in young children" (Cha). Cha also quotes a study done by Karen Bonuck in 2012 where she found that children who have apnea, mouth breathing, and snoring were 40 to 100% more likely to have symptoms resembling ADHD by age 7 than their peers without those issues. Cha also stated that other studies have shown that "75 percent of people with ADHD have sleep disturbances and that the less sleep they get the more severe the symptoms".

I also entered in the search terms ADHD (children) but received a lot of the same results as with my first search. When I entered in the terms Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children the results that came back were some of the same and some were not results that were on the topic of ADHD such as the result shown below.

When searching the facebook app I was able to select what types of results I was looking at and that made it easier for me because I was only looking for posts not people or groups. Facebook also has an easy to follow interface. It was simply to figure out and to toggle between different types of results as well as filter by who posted it, whether its all posts or just posts you have seen, what group it was posted in, what location was tagged, as well as the year it was posted.
