Because there have been a few studies on the prevalence of ADHD in Iran, assessment of its prevalence seems to have a great impact on the physicians approach toward its diagnosis and management.
This study listed all the schools in Mashhad and chose 12, including 24 classes and 714 students by stratified cluster sampling. A total of 72 children were selected randomly for pilot study. Their parents and teachers filled the 10-item Conners' questionnaire for ADHD separately. Clinical interview was based on DSM-IV criteria. Students with the total scores higher than the cut-off point 23 were selected for interview.
A total of 109 students out of 714 schoolboys had ADHD (15.27% +/- 2.64%). The subgroups' prevalence rates were as follows: attention deficit (AD) = 4.62%, hyperactive impulsive (HI) = 5.32%, and combined type (CT) = 5.32%.
Frequency of ADHD among Iranian schoolboys is more than that in many countries.
由于伊朗已有少数关于注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)患病率的研究,因此评估其患病率似乎对医生的诊断和管理方法有重大影响。
本研究列出了马什哈德的所有学校,并通过分层整群抽样选择了 12 所学校,包括 24 个班级和 714 名学生。共有 72 名儿童被随机选择进行试点研究。他们的父母和老师分别填写了 10 项 Conners' ADHD 问卷。临床访谈基于 DSM-IV 标准。总得分高于 23 分的学生被选为访谈对象。
在 714 名男学生中,共有 109 名学生患有 ADHD(15.27% +/- 2.64%)。亚组的患病率如下:注意力缺陷(AD)= 4.62%,多动冲动(HI)= 5.32%,和混合型(CT)= 5.32%。
