Who, for example, is the CDC's audience? What are their beliefs about ADHD, and how does the CDC's Web page relate itself to those beliefs? Why would the federal government post a Web page about ADHD? What role does the general public expect the government to play regarding disorders such as ADHD?

DQ 1: Please look again at the CDC's Web page about ADHD. (http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/facts.html)

In 150-200 words, please analyze the document’s purpose and audience. Who, for example, is the CDC's audience? What are their beliefs about ADHD, and how does the CDC's Web page relate itself to those beliefs? Why would the federal government post a Web page about ADHD? What role does the general public expect the government to play regarding disorders such as ADHD?

DQ 2: The CDC's Web page about ADHD focuses quite heavily on children. Why do you think this is?  What impression of the disorder does this give the general public? Do you feel the choice to focus on children is justified?  Why or why not?  Later on in the week, go back to your classmates' posts and explain why you agree or disagree about these issues.
