Gender Bias in ADHD Diagnosis

Research question: To what extent does gender bias influence the diagnosis of ADHD in different populations?

Plain-language summary

There is limited research on how gender bias specifically affects ADHD diagnosis across different groups. While one study is exploring using machine learning to create a less biased diagnostic tool, the results are not yet available. Therefore, it is difficult to draw firm conclusions about the extent and nature of gender bias in ADHD diagnosis from the provided information.

Key findings

A recent study is investigating machine learning as a method to develop a gender-debiased classifier for ADHD diagnosis.
The findings of studies examining gender bias in ADHD diagnosis are currently unavailable or limited.
