No systematic reviews could be identified in the literature that address ADHD research in Arab countries. In an attempt to help fill this gap, this systematic review was undertaken.
An electronic literature search of ADHD studies carried out in Arab countries was done by using Google Scholar, PsycINFO, PubMed, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), and Arabpsynet.
The search yielded 58 studies (10 studies on psychoeducational and social aspects of ADHD, 26 prevalence studies and two reviews of epidemiology of ADHD, and 22 studies on risk factors and comorbidities in ADHD).
Although there has been an increase in ADHD research in Arab countries in recent years, this research remains relatively sparse and used methods and procedures that limit the generalizability of the findings.
文献中未发现有针对阿拉伯国家多动症研究的系统评价。为填补这一空白，开展了本系统评价。
通过谷歌学术、心理学文摘数据库（PsycINFO）、医学期刊数据库（PubMed）、教育资源信息中心（ERIC）和阿拉伯心理学网，对在阿拉伯国家开展的多动症研究进行电子文献检索。
检索到58项研究（10项关于多动症心理教育和社会方面的研究、26项患病率研究以及两项多动症流行病学综述，还有22项关于多动症危险因素和共病的研究）。
尽管近年来阿拉伯国家对多动症的研究有所增加，但该研究仍然相对较少，且所采用的方法和程序限制了研究结果的普遍性。
