Method: National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data were obtained for 2008-2009 to 2012-2013. Physician office visits including ADHD diagnosis and pharmacotherapy were measured per 1,000 population and per 1,000 office visits overall, and by demographic group. Logistic regression models controlled for demographics, psychiatric comorbidities, insurance type, and time period. Interactions of time, demographics, comorbidities, and insurance type were tested. Results: Diagnoses of ADHD increased by 36% in adults and 18% in youth, and diagnosis + drug by 29% in female and 10% in male youths. ADHD diagnosis was 77% less likely among Black than White adults but 24% more likely among Black than White youths in 2012-2013. Conduct disorder (CD) in youths multiplied odds of diagnosis + drug by 3.31; interaction of Black race \u00d7 CD by 3.78. Conclusion: Upward trends in ADHD diagnosis and treatment have continued but vary markedly by group. Studies of undertreatment\/overtreatment are needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1087054716688534","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,3]],"date-time":"2017-02-03T01:14:24Z","timestamp":1486084464000},"page":"10-19","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":97,"title":["Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD in the United States: Update by Gender and Race"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Kathleen A.","family":"Fairman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alyssa M.","family":"Peckham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David A.","family":"Sclar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1087054716688534","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1994","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr2-1087054716688534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"bibr3-1087054716688534","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association.
