Progress on Family Environmental Factors and Family Interventions in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Background: The prevalence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is increasing year by year, and it has a profound negative impact on children's behavior development and academic performance and brings great economic and medical burdens to families and society.

Objective: To elucidate the impact of family factors on children with ADHD, and introduce the main techniques and therapeutic effects of family intervention for children with ADHD.

Methods: Literature search is used to organize and analyze 88 influential articles in the past 30 years.

Results: Family factors play an important role in the onset, development, and outcome of ADHD in children, and family intervention is an important research direction for non-pharmacological intervention in children with ADHD.

Conclusion: The role of family factors and family interventions in children with ADHD is increasingly attracting academic attention, but there is still no clear conclusion on some issues that require confirmation from evidence-based medicine.
