Abstract Synopsis

  • The commentary reviews articles in Prevention Science that analyze environmental causes of ADHD through various meta-analyses assessing multiple exposures.
  • Each article follows rigorous criteria to ensure accurate associations between environmental factors and ADHD, although they acknowledge limitations due to unmeasured confounding variables.
  • The findings encourage caution in interpretation, particularly concerning familial and genetic confounding, highlighting the need for further studies that incorporate genetic considerations to clarify the relationships identified.
