I started this search using simple language and typing in 'ADHD' and a drop down pulled up with the terms Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I decided to first continue with my original search of ADHD. I received 56 results all of them being statistics and most of them being on adolescents. I then went back and tried the terms attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and received only 26 results.
I went back to my original search since I had more results. I then tried the limiter of United States and received 28 results. I also tried changing the publication date but did not like that I couldn't select a range of dates. I took off all limiters before continuing.
I first picked the statistic titled Percentage of children in the U.S. who had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as of 2016, by age.
GENDER
However, I was also curious to see some other statistics so I also looked at the Percentage of children in the U.S. who had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as of 2016, by gender, ethnicity, and region.
ETHNICITY
REGION
As of 2016 more male children were diagnosed with ADHD, as well as more children aged 12 to 17, more were African American children and the region with the most diagnosis was the Midwest.
I was not surprised that the majority if diagnosis belonged to the teen age group due to many doctors/parents waiting till students grew out of the natural hyperactivity that all children have.
This search was fairly simple as statista is set up for natural language searching and the website has a clean set up. I was able to quickly find what I needed that was on my topic. It was also easy to navigate between the different statistics.
