What people are saying
The discussions reflect a balanced interest, with posters emphasizing statistical trends like the nearly doubled diagnosis rates and racial disparities, using tone and phrases like 'strong indications' or 'research shows' to underline the significance. These comments indicate a thoughtful engagement with both the data and its societal implications.
Most discussions acknowledge the findings, especially the rise in ADHD diagnoses and questions about diagnostic criteria, indicating general agreement with the study's implications.
Participants express moderate curiosity, with some referencing related policies and racial disparities, showing they find the topic relevant but not overwhelmingly engaging.
Many posts engage by citing specific trends, such as the doubling of diagnosis rates over time and the concentration in the US, as well as mentioning broader societal implications, demonstrating moderate depth of discussion.
There is recognition of the study's importance in highlighting issues like diagnostic criteria and racial disparities, suggesting the findings could influence future research or policy debates.
Abstract in brief
- The study analyzed data from the National Health Interview Survey between 1997 and 2016, involving over 186,000 children aged 4 to 17, to examine trends in diagnosed ADHD among US youth.
- The findings show that the overall prevalence of diagnosed ADHD was about 10.2% in 2015-2016, with boys being more likely to be diagnosed than girls, and notable differences across racial and ethnic groups, such as higher rates in non-Hispanic Black and White children compared to Hispanic children.
- Over the 20-year span, the diagnosed ADHD rates increased, highlighting growing awareness and diagnosis, but disparities remain based on sex and race/ethnicity, which points to ongoing challenges in understanding and addressing ADHD across different populations.

Most liked on X and Bluesky@prettymadtree there are many reasons but here are two easily stated ones: 1. rates of diagnosis nearly doubled between 1997 and 2016. 2. they are highly concentrated in the US. these are strong indications of weak/flexible diagnostic criteria. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2018.1471
@defi_steve @GrantCardone My comment is based upon a research study in the @JAMANetworkOpen,“Twenty-Year Trends in Diagnosed Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Among US Children and Adolescents, 1997-2016”. You’re anecdotally offering an explanation why…but research shows an increased prevalence.
