Method: Participants were 1,508 children aged 6 to 14 years. Parents and teachers of each child completed the Turgay Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV) Disruptive Behavior Disorders Rating Scale (T- DSM-IV-S). Screen-positive cases were interviewed using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children\u2013Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). Diagnoses were based on DSM-IV criteria. Results: The prevalence rate of ADHD was 8%. Children from extended families had extremely high rates (46.4%) of ADHD. Sixty percent of children with ADHD had one or more comorbid diagnoses. The most common comorbidities were learning disorders (35.7%) and oppositional defiant disorder (22.6%). Conclusion: The prevalence and comorbidity rates of ADHD in school-age children in Turkey are similar to those found in previous studies in other countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1087054715577991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,6]],"date-time":"2015-04-06T22:03:27Z","timestamp":1428357807000},"page":"1237-1245","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["The Prevalence and Comorbidity Rates of ADHD Among School-Age Children in Turkey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Adil","family":"Zorlu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Izmir Tepecik Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gulsen","family":"Unlu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pamukkale University, Denizli, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Burcu","family":"Cakaloz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pamukkale University, Denizli, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet","family":"Zencir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pamukkale University, Denizli, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmet","family":"Buber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pamukkale University, Denizli, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yetis","family":"Isildar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sami Ulus Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1087054715577991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00787-006-0569-9"},{"key":"bibr2-1087054715577991","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1994","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr3-1087054715577991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10578-006-0011-z"},{"key":"bibr4-1087054715577991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychires.2010.06.009"},{"key":"bibr5-1087054715577991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.11m07529"},{"key":"bibr6-1087054715577991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1087054713517545"},{"key":"bibr7-1087054715577991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3349\/ymj.2006.47.1.113"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr8-1087054715577991","first-page":"47","volume":"22","author":"Cherkasova M.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry"},{"key":"bibr9-1087054715577991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1753-2000-2-15"},{"key":"bibr10-1087054715577991","first-page":"132","volume":"8","author":"Ercan E.
