Document Summary
In class typically talk 500 cases per 10,000 as an annual prevalence rate, the estimates vary recently estimates have been climbing prevalence have been going up at a steady rate. Visser et al (2014): sampled 6. 4 million children 4-17 years of age: 8. 8% point prevalence, 11% lifetime prevalence (to age 17) The estimate that there"s ~9% of the sample were showing symptoms of adhd at that certain point. The lifetime prevalence (up to age 17) was ~10%, so in this case 1 in every 10 individuals between 4-17 would show symptoms of adhd. Pastor et al (2015): sampled ~39,000 children 4-17 years of age: 9. 5% lifetime prevalence (to age 17) Collins & clearly (2016): using visser"s data, calculated 43% increase in adhd diagnoses between. 2004-2014: comparing 2014 to 2004 this is a huge increase, the numbers were just getting bigger all the time (this is very concerning)
