Abstract
The journey of obtaining a diagnosis and treatment for children and youth with ADHD can be challenging for all those involved. Focus groups were conducted with parents (n = 21), educators (n = 76), and healthcare providers (n = 39) to gather information regarding perceptions of this journey, especially as it relates to treatment utilization and adherence. Three cross-cutting categories emerged: the impact of socio-economic variables, the lack of integrated and continuity of care for ADHD, and the stigma surrounding ADHD and treatments. The results help to determine what is needed to support families to facilitate successful treatment for their child with ADHD.
