摘要

摘要:我们研究了COVID-19大流行的社会混乱如何影响普遍存在的儿童心理健康状况-注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的诊断。我们使用全国私人健康保险索赔和单个州的综合电子健康记录，将暴露于大流行的儿童与大流行之前的同龄儿童进行比较。我们发现，到2021年2月，全国男孩和女孩的新ADHD诊断分别减少了8.6%和11.0%。我们进一步表明，2020年秋季面对面教育水平的提高抑制了女孩的下降，但对男孩没有缓和作用。

Societal Disruptions and Childhood ADHD Diagnosis During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

We study how the societal disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted diagnosis of a prevalent childhood mental health condition, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Using both nationwide private health insurance claims and a single state’s comprehensive electronic health records, we compare children exposed to the pandemic to same aged children prior to the pandemic. We find the pandemic reduced new ADHD diagnoses by 8.6% among boys and 11.0% among girls nationwide through February 2021. We further show that higher levels of in-person schooling in Fall 2020 dampened the decline for girls but had no moderating effect for boys.
