“…Very few observational studies have also investigated the association of ADHD with riding behavior and risk of crash among motorcycle and bicycle riders [ 27 – 33 ] [ 14 – 20 , 26 , 28 – 30 , 34 , 35 ]. Efforts on increasing awareness of ADHD and screening of drivers for ADHD with subsequent evaluation and treatment are recommended for driver-related safety promotion [ 36 ] and it has also been shown that the hazard perception skills of drivers with ADHD can be improved using interventions such as computer based driver training even without pharmacologic treatment [ 37 ]. Pedestrians, although comprising a substantial proportion of road traffic fatalities, have been overlooked by researchers investigating role-specific association between adult ADHD and RTAs.…”

Abstracts Background The aim of this study was to investigate the association between adult ADHD screening scores and hospitalization due to pedestrian injuries in a sample of Iranian pedestrians. Methods Through a case-control study, a case population of 177 pedestrians injured by the vehicles in road traffic crashes were compared with 177 controls who lacked a record of intentional or unintentional injuries enrolled from various wards of Imam Reza University Hospital which is a specialty teaching hospital located in the same city with similar referral level. The cases and controls had an age range of 18–65 years and were matched on gender and age. ADHD symptom profile was assessed using the Persian Self-report Screening Version of the Conner’s Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS-S:SV). The association of ADHD screening score and pedestrian injuries was investigated using multiple binary logistic regression to investigate the independent effect of ADHD index score on belonging to case group. Both crude and adjusted odds ratios were reported. Results Men comprised 86.4% of the study subjects. The crude odds ratios for all the four ADHD subscales to be associated with pedestrian injuries were 1.05, 1.08, and 1.04 for the subscales A (attention deficit), B (hyperactivity/impulsiveness) and ADHD index respectively. However, the association for subscale A was not statistically significant with a borderline p-value. The final multivariate analysis showed that variables associated with pedestrian injuries in the road traffic crashes were ADHD Index score (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01–1.12); economic status (including household income and expenditure capacity); educational level and total walking time per 24 h. Conclusions Adult ADHD screening score can predict pedestrian injuries leading to hospitalization independently from sex, age, economic status, educational level and pedestrian exposure to traffic environment (average walking time).

“…Table 1 refers to the use of video games as a tool aimed at treating ADHD. Serious video games for health can produce significant improvements in attention ( 17 , 22 , 28 , 38 – 43 ), hyperactivity and impulsivity ( 17 , 19 , 20 , 23 , 38 , 40 , 44 – 46 ), executive functions ( 16 , 18 , 24 , 41 , 45 , 47 ), memory ( 39 , 41 , 47 – 54 ), reading-writing skills ( 11 , 41 , 43 , 55 , 56 ), emotional regulation ( 19 , 36 , 37 , 52 , 55 , 57 ), motor skills ( 18 , 23 , 28 ), and visual skills ( 53 , 58 , 59 ), among other advantages ( 18 , 47 , 48 , 51 , 55 ). These improvements may in turn have a beneficial effect in school performance ( 21 , 50 ).…”

Serious Video Games: Angels or Demons in Patients With Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? A Quasi-Systematic Review

ObjectiveTo carry out a quasi-systematic review of the use of serious video games for health as a cognitive rehabilitative tool in patients diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.MethodA quasi-systematic review of serious video games used as an evaluative and rehabilitative tool in patients with ADHD was conducted. It included behavioral patterns in the use of video games and addiction problems in this population. For its elaboration the PRISMA GUIDES were followed. The search was carried out in three PubMed databases, MEDLINE, and PsycInfo using the keywords: [game OR serious game OR computer game) AND (psychotherapy OR rehabilitation OR intervention OR mental disorders) AND (adhd)], [(adhd) AND (Video game addiction)]. All articles written in English, Spanish, or Portuguese from January 1970 to June 2021 were included: those in which reference was made to the use of video games and/or new technologies as a therapeutic and evaluative tool in children and adults diagnosed with ADHD, as well as those that referred to behavioral and clinical patterns in the use of video games.ResultsWe found 605 articles of which 128 were reviewed (44 observational studies, 26 quasi-experimental studies, 26 experimental studies, 8 systematic reviews, 9 narrative texts, 6 case reports, 7 pilot studies, 8 systematic reviews, and 2 meta-analyses). Serious video games can be used to ameliorate ADHD symptoms while improving adherence to treatment. Some serious video games show high accuracy properties assessing ADHD features.ConclusionSerious video games for health are increasingly being used as a cognitive rehabilitation tool in patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Systematic Review Registration[www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero], identifier [CRD42021247784].

“…Although existing HA training methods for the general population have been proven to be successful (e.g., Horswill, Garth, Hill, & Watson, 2017; Kahana-Levy et al, 2019a, 2019b), the impaired repetitive learning ability among TBI survivors demonstrated in the current study might call into question the utility of using such materials in training TBI survivors. Further research is required to investigate whether HA training is suitable for drivers with special needs (e.g., see Bruce et al, 2017, for a study of individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) and could be adapted for use in training TBI survivors.…”

Objective: To better understand hazard awareness abilities among traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors of which little is currently known. TBI survivors express degradation in driving abilities, particularly the proactive strategy in which indicators of potentially hazardous situations are sought and identified. The current study examined differences in hazard awareness learning between TBI survivors and noninjured control individuals matched for age and driving experience. Method: Forty individuals equally divided among the 2 groups were assessed by exposure to repetitive video-based hazard scenarios, which have been shown to improve hazard awareness in noninjured individuals. Differences in participants’ eye movements and behavioral response while watching video clips of genuine traffic scenes were recorded. Results: Although survivors of TBI demonstrated relatively intact hazard awareness abilities under baseline conditions, they failed to learn from repetitive presentation of the same hazardous situation (i.e., they did not improve hazard detection) and thus failed to adjust their scanning and behavioral reaction (e.g., time to reaction, adapt of scanning behavior). Differences were more prominent for hidden hazards. Our results show impoverished anticipation abilities in driving simulation tasks performed in the subacute recovery phase after TBI and that differences in materialized hazards awareness are distinguishable between TBI survivors and noninjured drivers of similar age and driving experience. Conclusions: Our findings signal the need for further research to clarify the relationship between TBI and hazard awareness training that might be supportive of driving rehabilitation after TBI.
