The statistical population of the study included all primary school students in Ardabil city in the academic year 2022 and children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder who referred to the psychiatric clinic of Fatemi Hospital in Ardabil city. 57 children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder selected by Purposive sampling method.
