Abstract:
Cross-cultural factors play a key role in the progression of childhood ADHD and behavioral outcomes, instigated by genetic variables and environmental influences emerging from the gestational period of development. Parenting styles vary across and within cultures with significant impact on child development. Societal norms that dictate acceptable behaviors provide strong reinforcement to the developing child. Societal norms also contribute to the level of acceptance of interventions, for example, psychotropic medication as a first-line treatment compared to behavioral interventions. Forensic implications for behavioral disturbances associated with childhood ADHD vary across societies and can range from exclusionary practices, such as detention, to punitive punishment, as well as more compassionate programs. This chapter will provide specific examples illustrating how these various cross-cultural factors influence the progression and presentation of childhood ADHD.
