‘Social gradient in use of health services and health-related quality of life of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A systematic review’

Open Access paper from JCPP Advances

ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) affects 5% of children on average. Despite the high need to access services for ADHD treatment, not all children with ADHD utilise healthcare services equally. This study aims to systematically synthesise evidence of equity and equality in health service use/costs and health-related quality of life (HRQoL)/wellbeing of children with ADHD across socioeconomic (SES) classes.
