“…Moreover, ODD and ADHD prevalence rates were determined with the same methodology, but only ADHD prevalence rates were found to be high throughout the 4 waves. The ODD prevalence was found to be much less than the one detected in previous studies conducted in Turkey that was based on scale assessments [16,17]. These results may raise the question ''whether ADHD is more prevalent in Turkish children than in some other parts of the world?''…”

Our results confirmed a substantially higher ADHD prevalence rate (more than double) than the suggested pooled worldwide prevalence, although similar to the one recently detected in a representative populational sample of children in the US (11 %). These findings, consistent with previous developmental epidemiology studies from Turkey, confirm that ADHD is highly prevalent in Turkish elementary school children.

“…In Turkey, ADHD prevalence was not previously studied in extensive investigations, but two studies with diagnostic procedures including only parent and teacher scales reported the prevalence of ADHD in school age children between 6–12 and 6–15 years as 8.1% and 8.4 respectively [35,36]. It was interesting to find a higher ADHD prevalence in spite of the use of stricter methodology in our study.…”

BackgroundThis study was designed to assess the prevalence of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in a representative sample of second grade students from a country in a region where no previous rates are available (Turkey). The second aim is to evaluate the differences in ADHD and ODD prevalence rates among four different waves with one-year gap in reassessments.MethodSixteen schools were randomly selected and stratified according to socioeconomic classes. The DSM-IV Disruptive Behavior Disorders Rating Scale (T-DSM-IV-S) was delivered to parents and teachers for screening in around 1500 children. Screen positive cases and matched controls were extensively assessed using the K-SADS-PL and a scale to assess impairment criterion. The sample was reassessed in the second, third and fourth waves with the same methodology.ResultsThe prevalence rates of ADHD in the four waves were respectively 13.38%, 12.53%, 12.22% and 12.91%. The ODD prevalence was found to be 3.77% in the first wave, 0.96% in the second, 5.41% in the third and 5.35% in the fourth wave. Mean ODD prevalence was found to be 3.87%.ConclusionsThe prevalence rates of ADHD in the four waves were remarkably higher than the worldwide pooled childhood prevalence. ADHD diagnosis was quite stable in reassessments after one, two and three years. A mean ODD prevalence consistent with the worldwide-pooled prevalence was found; but diagnostic stability was much lower compared to ADHD.

“…However, the prevalence we found was higher than that of other prevalence studies carried out in Turkey in different years. A study conducted by Gul et al, 32 for instance, reported a prevalence of 8.6% and another one, reported by Ersan et al, 33 found a prevalence of 8.1%. Güler et al, 34 by contrast, reported a prevalence of 2.7-9.6% based on parent assessment and 2-10.1% based on teacher evaluation.…”

“…The global subtype studies reported that the combined and the inattentive types were the most common, 24,25 while two epidemiological studies from Turkey found that the hyperactive type was the most common. 32,33 These differences in the rates of various subtypes may stem from methodological variations as well as cultural discrepancies. More society-based studies are needed to interpret our results with respect to subtype distribution.…”

Objective: We evaluated the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among primary school children in Nicosia, a province of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). interview (Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged Children-Present and Lifetime; K-SADS-PL). ADHD was diagnosed with use of the K-SADS-PL in both children and their parents as well as in accordance with DSM-IV-TR ÖZET Amaç: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti'ndeki (KKTC) ilkokul öğrencilerinde dikkat eksikliği/hiperaktivite bozukluğu-nun (DEHB) yaygınlığını araştırdık. Yöntem: DEHB değerlendirme ölçekleri 6-11 yaş arasındaki ilkokul öğrencile-rinin anne-babaları ve öğretmenleri tarafından dolduruldu. Çalışma iki basamakta gerçekleştirildi. Birinci basamakta Turgay DSM-IV-Yıkıcı Davranış Bozuklukları Çocuk ve Adolesan Değerlendirme ve Tarama Ölçeği (T-DSM-IV-S) ölçeği 1140 öğrencinin ailesine yollandı. Aynı ölçek, ölçeği doldurulmuş olan çocukların öğretmenlerine de verildi. İkinci basamakta anne-babaları veya öğretmenleri tarafından doldurulan ölçeklerde 12 puandan fazla alan çocuk-ların anne-babaları ve çocukları yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme (Çocuk ve Gençler için Duygulanım Bozuklukları ve Şizofreni ölçeği; K-SADS-PL) için kliniğe çağırıldı. DEHB tanısı çocuklarda ve anne-babalarında hem K-SADS-PL kullanılarak, hem de DSM-IV-TR
