Abstract

Objectives: TikTok is being increasingly used as an easily accessible source of information on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This study aimed to find the quality of information on ADHD screening or self-test in TikTok videos with the hashtag #adhdtest and the engagement of these videos with their viewers.

Method: The content of the top 50 TikTok videos with the "hashtag #ADHDtest" was analyzed cross-sectionally and categorized as "useful" or "misleading" after comparison of its content with the "Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale" (ASRS-v1.1). The videos were categorized as "useful" if its contents had at least 4 out of the 6 questions on the ASRS-v1.1 screener. Its level of engagement was quantified by measuring the number of times the video was liked, commented on, or added to favorites. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis.

Result: Out of the 50 included #adhdtest videos, 92% (n = 46) were misleading. Furthermore, useful videos had minimal engagement, with only 4% of the total likes, 1% of the total comments, and 7% of the total favorites.

Conclusion: There is misleading information related to adult ADHD screening and testing on TikTok. There is a need to address this misinformation.

hashtag ADHD 测试"（#adhdtest）的证据基础如何？对TikTok视频中有关注意缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）筛查的内容进行横向分析。

目的TikTok 越来越多地被用作易于获取的注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）信息来源。本研究旨在了解带有 #adhdtest 标签的 TikTok 视频中有关多动症筛查或自我测试的信息质量，以及这些视频与观众的互动情况：方法：对TikTok视频中使用 "标签#ADHDtest "的前50个视频的内容进行横向分析，并将其内容与 "成人多动症自我报告量表"（ASRS-v1.1）进行比较，将其分为 "有用 "或 "误导 "两类。如果视频内容至少包含 ASRS-v1.1 筛选器 6 个问题中的 4 个，则被归类为 "有用"。参与程度则通过衡量视频被点赞、评论或添加到收藏夹的次数来量化。分析采用了描述性统计方法：在收录的 50 个 #adhdtest 视频中，92%（n = 46）具有误导性。此外，有用视频的参与度极低，仅占总点赞数的 4%、总评论数的 1%、总收藏数的 7%：结论：TikTok 上存在与成人多动症筛查和测试相关的误导性信息。有必要解决这些错误信息。
