Resumo
Few studies have been carried out worldwide about ADHD among
indigenous children and no study has been conducted in Brazil so far. This study
aims to evaluate the estimated prevalence of ADHD among the indigenous
populations of Karajá children and adolescents aged 7 to 14 years old. Three of
the largest settlements pertaining to this ethnic group were investigated and a
sample of 144 subjects of a total population of 350 individuals was collected.
The sample was randomly collected and stratified according to the age bands
and gender (male and female) proportionally to the size of each participating
settlement.
Both the CBCL/6-18 (Child Behavior Checklist for ages 6 18) and the
TRF (Teacher s Report Form 6-18) were used as instruments of epidemiological
tracking of behavioral and emotional problems. Of these instruments, the data
used were those compatible with the DSM-IV and ADHD diagnoses as well as
Affective Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorders and
Conduct Disorders comorbidities.
The results indicate a prevalence of 10.4% (95% CI 6.6 14.2) when the
respondents are either the parents or the guardians and 2.8% (95% CI 0.7
4.8) when the respondents are the teachers. Of the 144 interviewed participants,
30 had ADHD and comorbidities were 86.7% (95% CI 74.5 98.8) for conduct
disorders, 86.7% (95% CI 74.5 98.8) for oppositional defiant disorders, 83.3%
Abstract xxviii
(95% CI 70.0 96.7) for anxiety disorders and 60% (95% CI 42.5 77.5) for
affective disorders. ADHD is then concluded to exist in a population so culturally
diverse from that of the east white and to have a high prevalence rate and the
comorbidities routinely found in all populations of children from a number of
diverse cultures around the globe.
