Main Results:

  • Diversity variables (ethnicity, age, gender, socioeconomic status) are underrepresented in ADHD literature.
  • International research shows varied impacts of diversity on ADHD presentation and outcomes.
  • Current clinical approaches often fail to account for these diversity factors.

Conclusions:
