By the book: ADHD prevalence in medical students varies with analogous methods of addressing DSM items.
Summary of "By the book: ADHD prevalence in medical students varies with analogous methods of addressing DSM items."
The marked increase in the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among university students gives rise to questions about how best to diagnose in this setting. The aim of the present study was to calculate ADHD prevalence in a large non-clinical sample of medical students using a stepwise design and to determine whether ADHD diagnosis varies if interviewees use additional probing procedures to obtain examples of positive DSM items.
