Parents were requested to fill out the questionnaire. ADHD symptoms were assessed by ADHD Rating Scale Ⅳ-Preschool Version. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results The overall prevalence of ADHD symptoms in preschoolers was 7.2%. The prevalence of ADHD symptoms in rural areas was 8.3%,and 6.8% in urban areas. Totally 27.1% of preschool children were exposed to screen for more than 2 hours per day,and it was 39.4% in rural areas and 22.2% in urban areas. Multifactor analysis showed that long screen time before sleep was associated with higher level of ADHD symptoms(β=1.05,P<0.01),while longer tome for companion by parents predicted lower level of ADHD symptoms(β=-0.16,P<0.01). In addition,children′s gender(β=-1.97),parental education(β=-1.84,-2.30),and family income(β=1.39) also affected the level of ADHD symptoms in preschoolers(P<0.05).
