Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a common neurodevelopmental disorder frequently diagnosed between the ages 7 and 10 years. We measured ADHD symptomatology in a representative sample of the Czech population. Data collection was performed in January 2019 through the European National Panel. The respondents completed a demographic questionnaire focusing on ADHD history and a standardized questionnaire, the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) screener for ADHD symptomatology in adulthood. From the sample of 1,518 respondents, 3% of the respondents reported having been diagnosed with ADHD/hyperkinetic disorder in their lifetime. According to ASRS scoring, 119 respondents were classified as suspected ADHD. Overall, more males than females reported ADHD symptomatology. Age was also significantly associated with ASRS. Education status yielded no significant results. Our study documents that the prevalence of ADHD symptomatology in adults is comparable with that in Western countries despite the different historical and health care backgrounds.
注意缺陷多动障碍是一种常见的神经发育障碍，常在 7 至 10 岁之间被确诊。我们在捷克的代表性人群中测量了注意缺陷多动障碍的症状。数据收集于 2019 年 1 月通过欧洲国家小组进行。受访者完成了一个人口统计问卷，重点关注 ADHD 病史和一个标准化问卷，即成人注意缺陷多动障碍自评量表（ASRS）成人 ADHD 症状筛查器。在 1518 名受访者中，3%的受访者报告在他们的一生中被诊断为 ADHD/多动障碍。根据 ASRS 评分，有 119 名受访者被归类为疑似 ADHD。总体而言，报告有 ADHD 症状的男性多于女性。年龄与 ASRS 也有显著关联。教育状况没有产生显著的结果。我们的研究表明，尽管存在不同的历史和医疗保健背景，但成年人的 ADHD 症状患病率与西方国家相当。
