As part of the 5th International Psychiatry Conference organised by King Saud University, a workshop was conducted to assess the quality of CPGs for people with mental health diseases and problems with a focus on the National ADHD CPG in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, using the AGREE-REX (Recommendation Excellence) tool.
The AGREE-REX is a newly developed tool designed to evaluate clinical credibility & implementability of CPGs, and provides a blueprint for CPG development and reporting.
