I’m not in my usual geographical space this AM. It’s also not my usual sonic space; I’m listening to a local radio station while I’m having coffee in Cool Beans on the west side of Richmond (VA, US). On the radio I just heard a 30-sec advertisement aimed at parents and seeking children who manifest a list of symptoms of or have been diagnosed as having ADHD for a study of an “investigational medicine.”
Perhaps advertisements such as these are common in larger metropolitan areas, but it was a new one for me.

Living as I do in the Bay Area, with its wealth of research medical centers (Stanford, UCSF, etc.), both print and radio ads for participants in clinical research studies are common. I haven’t heard an ADHD one, but I have heard solicitations for “investigational treatments” for depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, and so on.
There are several online sources.
The National Insitutes of Health has a site

This one has a search feature. I plugged in ADHD Richmond and came up with
