4–17 years had parent-reported ADHD (about 11% of the U.S. population)

69% were taking medications (3.5 million children)

A 42% rate of increase from 2003 to 2011 Boys were more than twice as likely as

girls to have ADHD (12.1% vs. 5.5%)

Etiology of ADHD [1]

No single cause but likely multiple factors Genetic factors

Runs in families Neurological factors

Different brain structures Imbalance or deficiency in one or more

neurotransmitters

Page 17: Attention ‑ Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD; Chapter 15)

Etiology of ADHD [2]

Prenatal factors Exposure of the fetus to

Nicotine Alcohol Other drugs Maternal psychosocial stress during

pregnancy Postnatal exposure to toxic substances

Lead, methylmercury, and pesticides

Study of Acetaminophen Use Study of Acetaminophen Use During PregnancyDuring Pregnancy

Sample: Danish children (N = 64,322) whose mothers used acetaminophen during pregnancy (data from the Danish National Birth Cohort during 1996-2002)Results: Children were at higher risk for receiving a diagnosis of ADHD

Comment on Assessment of ADHD [1]

Diagnosis of ADHD is not easy Restlessness, inattention, and overactive

behavior are common in children Parents may find it difficult to judge child’s

behavior Rating scales usually do not provide for a

functional analysis of the variables that interact with children’s behaviors

Page 26: Attention ‑ Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD; Chapter 15)

Comment on Assessment of ADHD [2]

Teachers tend to assign more symptoms consistent with ADHD to younger children than to older children

Symptoms of ADHD can be displayed In different ways across different

settings In different relationships

Page 27: Attention ‑ Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD; Chapter 15)

Comment on Assessment of ADHD [3]

A comprehensive assessment requires a multi-method approach with Multiple informants Multiple contexts Multiple psychological tests Multiple use of rating scales See Table 25-1 in Chapter 25 (pp. 697–701

in main text) for questions to consider in preparing a report
