dc.description.abstractThis capstone project investigates Cultural Perspectives on ADHD Diagnosis in Adolescents from Immigrant Families in Canada to address a significant gap in understanding how cultural factors impact the recognition, treatment, and management of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Recent studies by Dong et al. (2020) and Koschorke et al. (2017) highlight the need for culturally sensitive assessment tools and the impact of cultural stigma on the acceptance of the universality of stigma related to mental illness (Anglin et al., 2020). Guided by a theoretical framework, the capstone research questions focus on understanding how cultural perspectives influence the recognition of ADHD symptoms, choice of treatment modalities, and adherence to treatment plans. The hypothesis is that cultural factors significantly shape these aspects, contributing to unique challenges and opportunities within immigrant families. This capstone project aims to contribute valuable insights into the cultural perspectives on ADHD within immigrant families in Canada or North America. Shedding light on these dynamics has the potential to inform the development of more inclusive and practical approaches to diagnosing and managing ADHD, fostering culturally competent healthcare practices.
