We compared the knowledge of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among the general public, parents of children with ADHD, and primary school teachers and identified factors associated with ADHD knowledge in each group, separately.Secondary data analysis was made on the pre-lecture data from those (122 from the general public, 64 parents of children with ADHD, and 515 primary school teachers) attending education lectures by the Department of Public Health, New Taipei City Government, Taiwan, 2014.ADHD onset age was least known in these 3 groups. Knowledge of ADHD was significantly better among teachers (test score, 75.3%) than among parents (65.5%) and the general public (59.2%). Among the general public, the test score significantly decreased with age and was worst in those who did not know their friends or relatives with ADHD. Among parents, service workers, and retired/unemployed knew significantly less about ADHD than housewife did. Among teachers, men knew significantly less than women; those who taught children with ADHD knew significantly more than those who did not.Primary school teachers knew more about ADHD than parents and the general public. Factors associated with ADHD knowledge varied among the 3 groups.
我们比较了普通公众、ADHD 儿童的父母和小学教师对注意力缺陷多动障碍 (ADHD) 的了解程度，并分别确定了每个群体中与 ADHD 知识相关的因素。
2014 年，对参加台湾新北市政府公共卫生部门教育讲座的人群（普通公众 122 人、ADHD 儿童的父母 64 人、小学教师 515 人）的讲座前数据进行了二次数据分析。
在这 3 组人群中，ADHD 的发病年龄是最不为人知的。教师（测试分数为 75.3%）对 ADHD 的了解明显好于父母（65.5%）和普通公众（59.2%）。在普通公众中，测试分数随着年龄的增长而显著下降，而那些不了解自己有 ADHD 朋友或亲戚的人得分最差。在父母中，服务人员和退休/失业者对 ADHD 的了解明显少于家庭主妇。在教师中，男性的了解明显少于女性；那些教授 ADHD 儿童的教师比不教授的教师了解得更多。
小学教师对 ADHD 的了解多于父母和普通公众。与 ADHD 知识相关的因素在这 3 组人群中有所不同。
