KEY FINDINGS: In 2011-2013, 9.5% of children aged 4-17 years were ever diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). For those aged 4-5, prevalence was 2.7%, 9.5% for those aged 6-11, and 11.8% for those aged 12-17. Among all age groups, prevalence of ever diagnosed ADHD was more than twice as high in boys as girls. Among those aged 6-17, prevalence was highest among non-Hispanic white children and lowest among Hispanic children. Among all age groups, prevalence was higher among children with public insurance compared with children with private insurance. Among children aged 4-11, prevalence was higher for children with family income less than 200% of the federal poverty threshold than for children with family income at 200% or more of the poverty threshold.
