The study aims to assess the impact of implementing ADHD knowledge improvement program on male primary school teachers' knowledge regarding ADHD in Abha City, Saudi Arabia.
Primary school teachers play an essential role in early detection and proper treatment of school children suffering attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). There are indications that teachers may not have enough knowledge about this disorder. Training programs can help to improve the knowledge of teachers about ADHD.
