A journal paper by Dr. Hannah Ho on “‘Medicating my son to heal my wife and compromise with school’: paternal accounts of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and medication in Hong Kong” has been published online in Asia Pacific Journal of Social Work and Development, an SSCI journal seeking to elaborate and disseminate original ideas, innovative practice methods, rigorous analyses of empirical research, and knowledge and skills of problem solving in social work and development in the Asia-Pacific region.
This article reports on an exploratory study investigating the lived experiences and perspectives of Chinese fathers of school-aged children diagnosed with ADHD on ADHD and medication. Investigation of fathers’ perspectives through a socio-cultural lens expands biomedically-based knowledge and understanding of ADHD, providing insights into the development of culturally-sensitive and gender-responsive family intervention for social workers and mental health professionals to assist parents in negotiating parenting issues concerning their children with ADHD.
