“…The primary immediate benefits of lockdown included more time with family, more time for academic work, and a reduction in anxiety ( Sibley et al, 2021 ). These findings support our previous findings that children with ADHD participated in more activities at home during COVID-19 than before, and that cognitive and social demands did not constitute barriers at home ( Kaya Kara et al, 2021 ). Consequently, children and adolescents with ADHD may benefit from a supportive and adaptable environment ( Kaya Kara et al, 2021 ; Melegari et al, 2021 ).…”

“…In addition, there was a 20.5% increase in the involvement in computer and video games in children with ADHD than their peers. In a previous study, Kara et al demonstrated that children with ADHD spent more time at home with playing computer and video games at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic than pre-COVID-19 ( Kaya Kara et al, 2021 ). Similarly, Sciberras et al ( Sciberras et al, 2022 ) found that playing computer games increased during the pandemic in children with ADHD, and that this was related to increased stress.…”

“…Investigation of the participation and involvement in daily activities of children with ADHD in the home environment is a forgotten topic in the literature ( Kaya Kara et al, 2021 ). The majority of studies have examined the academic performance of children with ADHD ( Engel-Yeger & Ziv-On, 2011 ).…”

“…The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the lifestyles and daily routines and deteriorated the behavioral problems in children with ADHD 25 – 27 ; it also disrupted the social and medical support for parents. 28 Vaccine administration in adolescents in Israel requires formal consent from them as well as from their parents and therefore this might be a limiting or encouraging factor in COVID-19 vaccine uptake, depending on parental decisions.…”

Objective To compare the rate of the administration of the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccinations between adolescents diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and non-ADHD subjects. Method A retrospective chart review was performed on all adolescents aged 12–17 years registered at a central district in Israel from January 1st 2021 to October 31st 2021. Results Of the 46,544 subjects included in the study, 8241 (17.7%) were diagnosed with ADHD. Of them, 3% were PCR-COVID-19 positive. Among the patients with ADHD, the older adolescents were more likely to be vaccinated: 48.8% of those aged 12-15 years were vaccinated versus 59.6% of patients aged 16-17 years. The ultra-orthodox Jewish and Arab adolescents in the ADHD group were far less likely to be vaccinated (22.9% and 34.6%, respectively), compared to the adolescents with ADHD in the general population (60.5%). Girls were also somewhat more likely to be vaccinated. Conclusions Adolescents diagnosed with ADHD had a higher COVID-19 vaccination rate compared to their non-ADHD counterparts. The vaccine uptake was lower amongst Arab and ultra-orthodox Jewish populations.

“…Reduced cognitive and social demands, and more readily available resources in the home environment during the COVID-19 period resulted in increased home participation in ADHD children compared to the pre-COVID-19 period [ 28 ], and parents reported positive family time with their children with ADHD [ 53 ]. However, youth with ADHD were less responsive to protective environmental variables (e.g., parental monitoring, school engagement) during the pandemic and may need more specialized support with a return to in-person schooling and daily activities [ 47 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic led ADHD services to modify the clinical practice to reduce in-person contact as much as possible to minimise viral spread. This had far-reaching effects on day-to-day clinical practice as remote assessments were widely adopted. Despite the attenuation of the acute threat from COVID, many clinical services are retaining some remote practices. The lack of clear evidence-based guidance about the most appropriate way to conduct remote assessments meant that these changes were typically implemented in a localised, ad hoc, and un-coordinated way. Here, the European ADHD Guidelines Group (EAGG) discusses the strengths and weaknesses of remote assessment methods of children and adolescents with ADHD in a narrative review based on available data and expert opinions to highlight key recommendations for future studies and clinical practice. We conclude that going forward, despite remote working in clinical services functioning adequately during the pandemic, all required components of ADHD assessment should still be completed following national/international guidelines; however, the process may need adaptation. Social restrictions, including changes in education provision, can either mask or exacerbate features associated with ADHD and therefore assessment should carefully chart symptom profile and impairment prior to, as well as during an ongoing pandemic. While remote assessments are valuable in allowing clinical services to continue despite restrictions and may have benefits for routine care in the post-pandemic world, particular attention must be paid to those who may be at high risk but not be able to use/access remote technologies and prioritize these groups for conventional face-to-face assessments.
