Culture-Related Diagnostic Issues

Differences in ADHD prevalence rates across regions appear attributable mainly to different diagnostic and methodological practices(Polanczyk et al. 2007). However, there also may be cultural variation in attitudes toward or interpretations of children’s behaviors. Clinical identification rates in the United States for African American and Latino populations tend to be lower than for Caucasian populations(Froehlich et al. 2007; Kessler et al. 2006; Miller et al. 2009). Informant symptom ratings may be influenced by cultural group of the child and the informant(Mann et al. 1992; Miller et al. 2009), suggesting that culturally appropriate practices are relevant in assessing ADHD.
