OBJECTIVE:Despite the availability of several effective treatments, many children with ADHD do not receive adequate services. A variety of factors may influence help-seeking behavior among families of children with ADHD. This study explores two factors that may influence help-seeking decisions: knowledge and misconceptions of ADHD and treatment acceptability. METHOD:A total of 196 participants completed measures of ADHD knowledge and use of information sources prior to rating the acceptability of two interventions: stimulant medication and sugar elimination diets. RESULTS:Higher levels of ADHD misconceptions were associated with lower acceptance of medication and higher acceptance of dietary interventions. However, analysis of individual misconceptions suggests that specific misconceptions are differentially related to perceptions of individual treatments. CONCLUSION:It may be important for clinicians to assess and deliberately target specific misconceptions as part of treatment for ADHD.

目的:尽管有几种有效的治疗方法,但许多多动症儿童仍未获得足够的服务。多种因素可能会影响多动症儿童家庭的寻求帮助行为。这项研究探讨了可能影响寻求帮助决定的两个因素:多动症的知识和误解以及治疗的可接受性。
方法:总共196名参与者完成了对ADHD知识和信息源使用的评估,然后评估了两种干预措施的可接受性:刺激性药物和消除糖的饮食。
结果:多动症的误解程度较高与药物接受程度较低和饮食干预措施接受程度较高有关。但是,对个人误解的分析表明,特定的误解与对个体治疗的看法有差异。
结论:对于多动症治疗的一部分,临床医生评估和故意针对特定的误解可能很重要。
