This article describes service use, perceived helpfulness of services, and the services requested of 157 families living with a child or adolescent with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specifically asks if service use and service need is a function of certain social demographic factors. Whereas these data suggest that ADHD is a fairly universal experience, as indicated by the high rate of service use across ethnic groups, income status, sex, and family composition, single-mother families used the most services, Hispanic families used the fewest, and families with boys with ADHD used more services than families with girls with ADHD. Income was not a significant factor in any services used or services requested. This study lends strength to the argument that more specialized services for certain groups are needed in venues with local community services, such as schools, where the majority of these children and families are already seeking help.
本文描述了157个有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童或青少年的家庭的服务使用情况、对服务的感知帮助程度以及所请求的服务，并特别询问服务使用和服务需求是否是某些社会人口因素的函数。尽管这些数据表明ADHD是一种相当普遍的情况，各民族、收入状况、性别和家庭构成的服务使用率都很高，但单亲母亲家庭使用的服务最多，西班牙裔家庭使用的最少，患有ADHD的男孩家庭比患有ADHD的女孩家庭使用的服务更多。收入在任何使用的服务或请求的服务中都不是一个重要因素。这项研究支持了这样一种观点，即在当地社区服务场所，如学校，需要为某些群体提供更专业的服务，因为这些儿童和家庭中的大多数已经在寻求帮助。
