Abstract

It's unclear whether the self reporting of ADHD in adolescents transcends ethnicity. In a sample of 73 adolescents with ADHD of Hispanic, Afro-Caribbean, and African-American ethnicities we gathered self reports of ADHD symptoms. The well-established adolescent under-reporting of ADHD symptoms occurred in the sample regardless of ethnicity.
