本研究旨在探讨父母的健康信念，知识和信息来源与注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的文化差异。结构化访谈由1,615名家长组成的代表性社区样本完成，包括ADHD知识和认知调查，行为问卷以及有关ADHD检测和治疗的询问。大多数家长都听说过ADHD，并认为自己对此很了解，但不知道相关的学校服务;那些知道的人认为他们的知识水平很低。与白人父母相比，非裔美国人父母报告的ADHD意识较低，自我评价知识较低。他们经历了更少的行动线索，例如从老师那里获得ADHD信息或阅读媒体报道。此外，他们对糖摄入的病因学归因更多，并且期望从治疗中获益较少。研究结果表明，迫切需要更适合文化的方法来教育非洲裔美国父母关于ADHD的原因和治疗方案。
This study explores cultural variance in parental health beliefs, knowledge, and information sources related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Structured interviews were completed by a representative community sample of 1,615 parents, including an ADHD knowledge and perceptions survey, behavioral questionnaires, and inquiries about ADHD detection and treatment. Most parents had heard about ADHD and considered themselves knowledgeable about it but were unaware of relevant school services; those who were aware rated their knowledge levels as low. Compared to their Caucasian counterparts, African American parents reported less ADHD awareness and lower self-rated knowledge. They experienced fewer cues to action, such as receiving ADHD information from teachers or reading media accounts. Furthermore, they made more etiological attributions to sugar intake and expected less benefit from treatment. Study findings suggest a compelling need for more culturally appropriate approaches to educating African American parents about the causes and treatment options for ADHD.
