“…6 Shealy estimated prevalence between 3-20% depending on the age, the criteria, and the instrument used. 10 According to kurtzke, epidemiological studies report in a higher prevalence, which should be considered as estimated or screening prevalence. 11 Many false positives, may be included.…”

The first reliable description of ADHD comes from England in early 20 th century. The prevalence of this disorder varies from 1% to 20% depending on the diagnostic criteria, the population of children studied and the source of information. Around 60% of ADHD children will carry some of their behavior in adulthood. 1 The cardinal symptoms are inappropriate levels of inattentiveness, motor over-activity and impulsivity. The symptoms must appear in at least two contexts, for duration of atleast 6 months, have an onset before age of 7 years and cause significant functional impairment. 2 Recent reports highlight behavioral, social, familial and academic difficulties in school age children with ADHD as compared to their counterparts without ADHD. 3

“…This prevalence is higher than found in other studies (American Psychiatric Association, 1994;Cantwell, 1996;Goldman et al, 1998;Milberger, Biederman, Faraone, & Tsuang, 1995;Pellock, 1996). However, it has been postulated that the prevalence of ADHD throughout several countries using the DSM-IV criteria and studying the general school population could be around 10% to 25%, depending on the age, sex, and socioeconomic status (Bhatia, Nigam, Bohra, & Malik, 1991;Eyestone & Howell, 1994;Kanbayashi, Nakata, Fuiji, & Wada, 1994;Madoki, Summer, & Mathews-Ferrari, 1991;Shealy, 1994).…”

We present a factor analytic study of the Conners Rating Scales for parents and teachers in this article. A comparison is established with the original factor analytic studies (Conners, 1979a, 1979b) and the results obtained by Farré-Riba and Narbona (1997), using a Spanish sample. Five hundred and forty children, ages 4 to 17, were randomly selected in Manizales, Colombia. The shortened Spanish version of the Conners Parents Rating Scale (CPRS; Conners, 1979a) and the Conners Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS; Conners, 1979b) were used. Parsimonious factor analyses for both scales were developed. Three stable factors were found in the CPRS: hyperactivity, somatic symptoms, and inattention. Twenty-two out of 48 items were significantly saturated by these 3 factors. In the CTRS, 4 different factors were found that accounted for 63.5% of the total variance: uncontrolled temperament, inattention, hyperactivity, and difficulties in social relationships. Twenty out of 28 items were significantly saturated by these 3 factors. Factor structure was closer to the Spanish Farré-Riba and Narbona report than to the original findings. We concluded that the CPRS and the CTRS Spanish versions, when used by Colombian children and adolescents, do not seem to evaluate exactly the same underlying behavioral dimensions. We propose selecting only 22 items of the CPRS and 20 items of the CTRS (brief versions) for further epidemiological and clinical use.

“…Este hallazgo concuerda con lo informado por Mandoki et al [35], quienes estimaron que al menos un 20% de la población escolar podrían tener DDA, aunque ésta no fuese clínicamente diagnosticada. Shealy [36] estimó una prevalencia de entre el 3 y el 20%, dependiendo del sexo, de la edad, del tipo de criterios y de los instrumentos utilizados para el diagnóstico. En la India también se encontró que la prevalencia de la DDA aumentaba con la edad, siendo del 5,2% entre los 3 y 4 años y del 29,2% entre los 11 y 12 años [37].…”

Introduction. American Psychiatric Association has defined the DSM-IV ADD diagnostic criteria and symptoms, however, there is not a quantitative instrument to evaluate them in Spanish speaker population. Objective. To evaluate the utility of a ADD checklist in a Colombian schooling population. Patients and methods. A randomized and stratified by sex, age and socioeconomic level, 4 to 17-year old, sample of 540 schooling subjects was selected from Manizales City, Colombia. An ADD checklist was applied to the parents of these subjects. Results. The reliability of the different dimensions of the questionnaire (18 total items, 9 items for inattention, 9 for hyperactivity-impulsivity, and 6 for hyperactivity) were strong in both sex and in all age groups (Cronbach's alpha coefficient 0.71-0.92). Only the impulsivity dimension formed by three variable showed fairly weak reliability (0.42-0.79 Cronbach's alpha). Some factorial analysis found two dimensions. In the male sample first dimension (inattention) explain around the 45% of the variance, and the second dimension (hyperactivity-impulsivity) explain around the 12 to 15% of the variance in the different age groups. In the female sample the first dimension was hyperactivity-impulsivity and the second dimension was inattention. A categorical (yes or not) scored questionnaire found a ADD estimated prevalence of 16.1, distributed in type I (combined) 3.3%, in type II (inattentive) 4.3%, and type III (hyperactive-impulsive) 8.5%. Male prevalence was 19.8% and female 12.4%. Conclusions. ADD checklist Spanish version showed a strong reliability. A bidimensional stable structured was found. A clinical related ADD prevalence was presented, it was much higher than the prevalence of the developed countries [REV NEUROL 1999; 28: 365-72]. INTRODUCCIÓNLa neuroepidemiología es la rama de las ciencias médicas que aplica los métodos de la epidemiología general a los problemas de la neurología clínica. Asumir esta aproximación requiere estar en disposición de utilizar herramientas y conocimientos de los dos campos que conforman esta ciencia: la epidemiología general y la neurología clínica [1].La idea es proporcionar al clínico herramientas epidemiológicas para que se familiarice con conceptos como prevalencia, incidencia y frecuencia desde una perspectiva descriptiva, y con los conceptos
