Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rating scales used to identify ADHD may reflect bias toward or against certain cultural groups, making it difficult to accurately diagnose and treat ADHD in culturally diverse students. It is important for professionals to consider cultural factors when diagnosing and treating ADHD in diverse populations. While African American individuals may have a higher rate of the disorder, this alone does not explain the challenges in identification and treatment. Similarly, there is no evidence that assessment methods or treatment approaches are specific to any particular cultural group.
