Abstract
We compared perceptions of behaviours related to mental health conditions across countries with vignettes, using multilevel models. ADHD-related behaviours were perceived as a disciplinary issue in Trinidad & Tobago at a significantly higher level than in Canada. In models that controlled for knowledge of ADHD, country differences did not hold.
