“…The overall estimated prevalence of ADHD in our sample was 5.5%, which is in agreement with the 5.3% reported in the metaanalysis by Polanczyk et al (2007) and the 5.5% identified by the NSCH among US children (Song et al, 2019). Our estimate is higher than the latest meta-analyses by Polanczyk et al (2015) and Erskine et al (2013), which estimated rates of around 3%, and other European studies conducted in France, Italy, the UK, and Germany that reported ADHD prevalence rates of between 1.4% and 4.4% (Göbel et al, 2018;Lecendreux et al, 2011;Reale & Bonati, 2018;Russell et al, 2019). However, the high heterogeneity between prevalence estimates leads us to consult other studies that report even higher values, such as 6.3% in China (Liu et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2017), between 7.8% and 8.8% in Australia, Nigeria, and Korea (Kim et al, 2017;Sawyer et al, 2018;Umar et al, 2018), and 10.2% in the US (Xu et al, 2018).…”
