| Abstract: | This article is a response to a previous meta-analysis on the prevalence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among adults in prison. The authors of the response defend their decision to only include studies with unselected samples of adult prisoners, excluding samples that exclusively consisted of people with psychiatric disorders or solely those with violent index offenses. They argue that including selected samples would inflate the prevalence of ADHD. They also criticize a re-analysis of the prevalence of ADHD in detained adults, stating that the included studies were not representative of the general prison population. The authors conclude that their estimate of 8.3% prevalence of ADHD in the general prison population is more accurate than the re-analysis estimate of 22.2%. [Extracted from the article] |
