This paper aims to determine and explain differences in the prevalence of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and medication intake in school-aged children in two distinct school systems in Flanders and Québec. For this purpose, we present detailed descriptive analyses of data from parents and teachers that were collected as part of a comparative international project. The data include information on teacher and parent suspicion, teacher ratings of ADHD-related behaviors in children, the desirability of medication intake according to teachers, and finally their beliefs about ADHD. In the discussion section, we suggest that these findings are best explained by cultural, educational, political, and social factors.
