Abstract

Objective To investigate the prevalence and severity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Qingdao. Method A total of 5 885 stratified random sampled parents were investigated with SNAP-Ⅳ scale. Results 1) Parent-reporting SNAP-Ⅳ scores showed 289 students meeting the diagnostic criteria for ADHD,with prevalence of 4.9%.The prevalence of boys was significantly higher than that of girls with a gender ratio of 1.60∶1.2)The prevalence of ADHD-I subtype,ADHD-HI subtype and ADHD-C subtype were respectively 3.0%,0.4% and 1.6%,among which there was no gender difference.3) The SNAP-Ⅳ scores of ADHD and normal children were significantly different.4) There was no significant gender difference of symptom severity within ADHD subtypes. Conclusions 1)The prevalence of 5th grade children of Qingdao is relatively low.Children of the three subtypes deserve education and treatment of equal level despite of their different behavioral characteristics.2) Girls with lower prevalence need to be taken seriously in both diagnosis and treatment for their equal symptom severity as boys.
