Systematic Review on ADHD Prevalence, Factors, and Interventions

Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder with significant implications for children’s cognitive, behavioural, and emotional well-being. This systematic review synthesizes existing studies on ADHD's prevalence, associated factors, and intervention efficacy. The review aims to identify research gaps and inform future studies and interventions. Following PRISMA guidelines, 45 studies were included. Findings underscore the variability in prevalence rates, highlight socioeconomic, genetic, and environmental factors, and evaluate diverse interventions. Key gaps include underrepresentation of non-Western contexts, insufficient longitudinal studies, and limited evidence on combined intervention strategies.
