Type: article

Abstract: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood psychiatric disorder marked by inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity. With a global prevalence of 5% to 7%. Various factors, including parental engagement, education, cultural perceptions, and healthcare access, affect the quality of care for children with ADHD. Inadequate parental involvement can lead to poor adherence to treatment. Parental knowledge of ADHD is influenced by socio-cultural factors like education, race, and stigma. This study aims to explore the knowledge, misconceptions, and treatment preferences of parents of children with ADHD at Arrazi Psychiatric Hospital in Morocco.
