From the sampled students, 67 individual (6.5%) suffered from ADHD. There was a significant relationship between the prevalence of the disorder and variables such as birth order and parents education, but prevalence of the disorder was not related to the type of delivery, parents smoking, pre-terming of child, history of head trauma and parents occupation.
