为了更好地了解寻求帮助的过程中，发生在拉丁美洲家庭的孩子表现出的行为与注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD），定性和定量数据从73个拉丁裔父母进行了检查。研究结果表明，大多数拉丁裔父母在目前的样本认识到ADHD症状的关注和需要专业的帮助，并报告被激励寻求帮助。不幸的是，他们似乎也缺乏对ADHD病因和有效治疗的了解，许多人发现了寻求帮助的障碍。未来的研究必须涉及社区合作，旨在提高对ADHD的认识和了解，并减少在目标拉丁裔社区寻求帮助的障碍。
To better understand the help seeking process that occurs within Latino families when a child is exhibiting behaviors consistent with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), qualitative and quantitative data from 73 Latino parents were examined. Findings suggest that most Latino parents in the current sample recognized ADHD symptoms as concerning and in need of professional help and reported being motivated to seek help. Unfortunately, they also appeared to lack knowledge about the etiology of and effective treatment for ADHD, and many identified barriers to seeking help. Future research must involve community collaborations aimed at increasing awareness and knowledge of ADHD and decreasing barriers to seeking help in targeted Latino communities.
