Disparities in the prevalence of ADHD diagnoses, suspicion, and medication use between Flanders and Québec from the lens of the medicalization process
The prevalence of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnoses and medication use has increased over time around the world, but significant regional differences remain. This paper aims to determine and explain disparities in ADHD prevalence and medication use among school-aged children in two distinct school systems, in Flanders (Belgium) and Québec (Canada). We present detailed descriptive and comparative analyses of data from 35 sc…
Relative Age Effect in Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder at Various Stages of the Medicalization Process
Diagnosis and pharmacological treatment of ADHD are more common among the youngest children in a classroom, born in the months immediately preceding the school entry cutoff date. The mechanisms behind this phenomenon, called the relative age effect (RAE), are not yet well understood. Nearly all hypotheses involve the school system, various teachers’ actions, and concern children’s immaturity. However, most previous studies have been based on repo…

Pourquoi le programme québécois « Agir tôt » est-il controversé
Cadre de la recherche : La prévention précoce prédictive des troubles de comportement et d’apprentissage oriente progressivement depuis plus de 20 ans des politiques sociales et éducatives en petite enfance au Québec. Un exemple frappant est le récent programme, Agir tôt, dont l’existence est justifiée par les résultats de l’Enquête québécoise sur le développement des enfants de maternelle (EQDEM) qui utilise l’Instrument de mesure du développeme…
Suspicion of ADHD by teachers in relation to their perception of students’ cognitive capacities: Do cognitively strong students escape verdict
Teachers play a crucial role in the diagnostic process of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in students: They are often the first to identify ADHD-related behaviors in children and to signal them to parents. Research has demonstrated that the recognition and labeling of certain behaviors as evidential for ADHD by teachers vary with respect to student characteristics. This study examines if and how the association between teacher per…
Outil thérapeutique », « Advil(R) scolaire » ou « doping: Ambivalence des professionnels de la santé face aux usages et à la prescription des médicaments spécifiques au TDAH
L'ampleur de la consommation de médicaments spécifiques au Trouble du déficit de l'attention avec ou sans hyperactivité (TDAH) chez les enfants québécois préoccupe. Alors que des professionnels de la santé dénoncent la situation, ils se retrouvent également au cœur des revendications en tant que prescripteurs. Notre analyse qualitative suivant les principes de la théorisation enracinée révèle que les professionnels de la santé sont très critiques…
Transition-To-Adulthood Profiles and Well-Being: Similarities and Distinctions Among Urban and Remote Contexts
In this study, two different contexts were examined to identify and describe transition-to-adulthood profiles at age 25 (based on four adulthood markers) and to determine whether these profiles differ in well-being at age 25. Two French-Canadian samples (urban sample, N = 321; remote sample, N = 363) completed questionnaires at age 25 regarding adulthood markers (having left school, being a parent or expecting a child, having left the parental ho…

Witnessing violence in early secondary school predicts subsequent student impairment
BACKGROUND: Past research suggests that adolescents who witness violence are at risk of adjustment problems. However, few studies have implemented a longitudinal design and have accounted for direct experiences of victimisation and other major confounders. This prospective study examines the relationship between witnessing school violence and subsequent impairment and whether such associations depend on the kind of violence witnessed. METHODS: 39…
Individual, social, and family factors associated with high school dropout among low-SES youth: Differential effects as a function of immigrant status
BackgroundIn most Western countries, the individual, social, and family characteristics associated with students' dropout in the general population are well documented. Yet, there is a lack of large-scale studies to establish whether these characteristics have the same influence for students with an immigrant background.AimsThe first aim of this study was to assess the differences between first-, second-, and third-generation-plus students in ter…
