The factors affecting medication complience were significant following as: parent training(OR=0.076,P<0.01), concerning about drug side effect(OR=0.126,P<0.01), family incomings(OR=0.149,P<0.05), frequency of dosing(OR=0.201,P<0.05), ways of paying medieal treatment(OR=0.262,P<0.05) and the type of the diseases(OR=4.000,P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The results indicate both the training to improve parents' knowledge about ADHD and the investigation on the model of community service about ADHD will elevate the rate of children received medication.
