Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders. While the long-term outcomes associated with ADHD (e.g., low academic performance, increased behavioural problems) has been well-documented, less research focused on the economic burden and service utilisation of ADHD.
