Description:Objective:
To provide state-level estimates of diagnosed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and associated treatment among children in the United States in 2016–2019.
Method:
This study used the National Survey of Children’s Health to produce national and state-level estimates of lifetime diagnosis and current ADHD among all children aged 3–17 years (n=114,476), and national and state-level estimates of medication and behavioral treatment use among children with current ADHD.
Results:
The state-level estimates of diagnosed ADHD ranged from 6.1% to 16.3%. Among children with current ADHD, state-level estimates of ADHD medication usage ranged from 37.8% to 81.4%, and state-level estimates of behavioral treatment ranged from 38.8% to 61.8%.
Conclusion:
There was substantial state-level variation for indicators of ADHD diagnosis and associated treatment. These state-level results can be used by policymakers, public health practitioners, health care providers, and other stakeholders to help address the service needs of children with ADHD in their states.
