Prevalence and risk factors associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among US Black individuals: A systematic review and meta-analysis

JAMA Sep 14, 2020

Cénat JM, Blais-Rochette C, Morse C, et al. - Via performed a systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers sought to determine the prevalence and risk factors linked with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among US Black individuals. From 21 studies published between 1979 and 2020 (154 ,818 Black participants), they included a total of 24 independent samples and subsamples in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Among these 154 ,818 US Black individuals, ADHD prevalence of nearly 15% was observed. The associated risk factors identified were sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, race, socioeconomic status), risk behaviors, and familial and environmental factors. The results suggest a higher risk for ADHD diagnoses among Black individuals vs the general US population. They thereby emphasize a necessity to enhance ADHD assessment and monitoring among Black individuals from different social backgrounds. Further, they reveal the importance of establishing precise diagnoses and culturally appropriate care.
