Abstract

Purpose: ADHD is a detrimental disorder found commonly in children. As more research is done on the prevalence of ADHD in children around the world, Vietnam has started to join in the trend. However, there has not been enough data collected on the prevalence of ADHD children in different provinces in Vietnam. This study aims to propose a method to collect data on the prevalence of ADHD and explain the risk factors for ADHD in 6 to 7 years old Ha Tinh children.
 Patients and Methods: This research’s method is based on a previous research’s method. There will be a cross-sectional study of 1796 students from 14 randomly selected elementary schools from 14 districts of Ha Tinh. The information will be gathered through a two-part Vanderbilt-Assessment-scale-based questionnaire which will be distributed to the guardians and teachers to fill in, and individual interviews for each guardian and teacher.
 Limitations (intended): For a topic with little recognition in Vietnam yet, this research might lack the adequate human resources, fundings and participants’ consent.
 Conclusions (tentative): This problem requires more attention from both the public and government in order to be dealt with effectively.
