The team found a dose-response effect. Meta-analysis of six studies with 1,334 participants under 12 years old reported 13% with indications of ADHD. Meta-analysis of five studies encompassing 991 individuals, 12 through 18 years old, found an ADHD rate of 43%. The ADHD rate among adolescents was 3.3 times greater than among children.

There were no significant differences among countries.

Moreover, limiting the meta-analysis to the seven studies with 1,538 participants that relied on clinical ADHD diagnoses, the gold standard, resulted in an ADHD prevalence of 23%.

The team concluded, “The review of 13 studies revealed that ADHD is common in homeless children and adolescents, suggesting that homelessness may contribute to the development or exacerbation of ADHD symptoms. Conversely, ADHD with other comorbidities may increase the likelihood of homelessness. Reintegrating these children and adolescents into care systems and ensuring access to public health interventions tailored for homeless families and youth is imperative for breaking the cycle of homelessness and improving long-term trajectories.”

In other words, this review not only confirmed a strong link between homelessness and ADHD in children and youth, but also suggested a complex, cyclical relationship. Providing tailored health care and support for these vulnerable groups is crucial to interrupt this cycle and help improve their future outcomes.

Plasma Awareness Week is shining a light on thousands of Canadians who depend on plasma-derived medications to manage serious illnesses, as safety concerns at private donation clinics raise questions about the need for a safe supply.

#yyc wants to condemn Alberta to a future that makes The Handmaids Tale look good - not that anyone will be allowed to read it? They don’t respect having local autonomy?

@natefor8.bsky.social Oct 9, 2026, 5:48 PM

Yesterday the Province directed Calgary and Edmonton on how our neighbourhoods should grow.

I want to be clear: my concern is not about rezoning. That's gone. My concern is a pattern of Provincial interference in local decisions, often while that work is still underway 1/ #yyc #calgary #yyccc

When govt incurs heavy debt, interest costs rise (which now total more than we spend on health care).

Govt debt also causes interest rates to rise for other borrowers, including business investors & consumer loans and mortgages.

When rates go up, everyone pays.

of #yeg #yyc agrees with them. But the nature of cities IS change. That drives the people, the new ideas, the economic drive that doesn’t come from small towns. Requiring cities adopt the stultifying small town ethos is just dumb. So sure, an 18 month “pause” so the UCP can be sure their supporters
