“…Multiple scales exist to measure knowledge of ADHD with good validity and reliability, although some are very lengthy (Robledo-Castro et al, 2024). The most established of these is the Knowledge of Attention Deficit Disorders Scale (KADDS) (Sciutto et al, 2000), which has been used in various countries and translated into many languages.…”

“…The most established of these is the Knowledge of Attention Deficit Disorders Scale (KADDS) (Sciutto et al, 2000), which has been used in various countries and translated into many languages. However, recent studies by the original authors of the scale and others have suggested that the scale needs to be updated to align with more recent diagnostic changes and to adjust dimensionality and subscales (Robledo-Castro et al, 2024;Sciutto et al, 2016). Furthermore, whilst the scale is wellused, it is intended for teachers rather than clinicians.…”

Objectives Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects around 7% of children/adolescents and 3% of adults. Treatment guidelines propose a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Despite this, research has focused on the use of medication, including how this varies between countries, with differences found between high-income countries (HIC) and low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Studies have also identified that the role of practitioners is critical with their clinical ambivalence around ADHD impacting treatment. The present study aimed to examine the views of practitioners towards psychosocial treatments for ADHD in the UK (HIC) and Malaysia (LMIC). Methods Data was collected from health practitioners in the UK and Malaysia using an online survey to assess (i) demographics and employment characteristics, (ii) practitioners’ attitudes to psychosocial treatments for ADHD, and (iii) practitioners’ beliefs about ADHD. Results Respondents in Malaysia held more positive attitudes towards psychosocial interventions, despite having similar beliefs about the condition. Furthermore, attitude to psychosocial interventions was predicted by age of the practitioner, their qualification, and belief in ADHD as a real condition with biological markers. Conclusions This study has revealed some cross-cultural differences in attitudes towards non-pharmacological treatment for ADHD and provides a starting point for future research to move beyond examination of decision-making for pharmacological treatments only.
