ABSTRACT

To determine the prevalence of school-age children, bearers of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD) living in three villages in South Los Altos de Jalisco. We performed a descriptive cross-sectional study. With the participation of children attending the first and second grade, whose ages ranged between 6 and 8 years, both genders, parents and teachers of the children selected at random, we applied the Conners’ questionnaire, the It consists of two scales, one for parents and another school, the Cronbach alpha reliability in the Mexican population is 0.8941 for the first in school and for 0928, this questionnaire is a series of questions that give a score, and is considered a higher overall score of 34 in children and more than 39 in girls, suggest that ADHD children carry also targeted children were observed in their behavior. Once identified children with high scores were evaluated by the psychology and neurology services, applying new Conners questionnaire, test of WISC, medical history with complete neurological examination, in order to confirm or refute the diagnosis of attention deficit disorder, meeting the recommended criteria in the DSM IV TR. The study involved 220 children, but only 198 children met the inclusion criteria, 116 male and 82 female, with an average age of 7.26% years. The prevalence with attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity, found in this patient group was 14.6% of children, with a clear predominance of male over females 3:1. The results show no statistically significant differences with those reported by other authors.
