This review aimed to understand the broader community's attitudes toward ADHD, which could facilitate public health interventions to improve outcomes for individuals with ADHD.
A standardized protocol identified peer-reviewed studies focusing on attitudes of broader community samples, published from January 2014 to February 2020 (inclusive).
A total of 1,318 articles were screened and 10 studies were included, examining attitudes of broader community samples from Australia, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Korea, Indonesia, and the United States. Findings revealed that broader community samples displayed varying degrees of ADHD-related knowledge, negative attitudes (that ADHD is over-diagnosed; that pharmacological treatment is not acceptable; that those with ADHD are more likely to exhibit poor behavior), and a desire for maintaining social distance from individuals with ADHD.
Findings suggest that community attitudes are generally negative toward those with ADHD. Targeted mental health literacy could provide an important avenue for improving the broader community's attitudes toward those with ADHD.
本综述旨在了解更广泛社区对注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的态度，这有助于开展公共卫生干预措施，以改善ADHD患者的治疗效果。
采用标准化方案，确定2014年1月至2020年2月（含）发表的、聚焦更广泛社区样本态度的同行评审研究。
共筛选出1318篇文章，纳入10项研究，这些研究考察了来自澳大利亚、瑞典、德国、芬兰、韩国、印度尼西亚和美国的更广泛社区样本的态度。研究结果显示，更广泛的社区样本对ADHD相关知识的了解程度不一，存在负面态度（如认为ADHD被过度诊断；药物治疗不可接受；ADHD患者更易表现出不良行为），且希望与ADHD患者保持社交距离。
研究结果表明，社区对ADHD患者的态度总体上较为负面。有针对性的心理健康素养提升可能是改善更广泛社区对ADHD患者态度的重要途径。
