Although researchers have conducted a vast amount of research about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), few have addressed how Latino families experience ADHD. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how Latino parents managed their child’s ADHD within the sociocultural context of their everyday lives. This article presents a grounded theory of how Latino parents ( N = 24 families) managed their child’s ADHD. The following five themes emerged from the data analysis: (a) finding out about ADHD, (b) taking on a biomedical meaning, (c) living between two cultures, (d) caring for a child with ADHD, and (e) looking toward the future with ADHD. Although some of the circumstances encountered by Latino parents resemble those typically found in the literature about ADHD and families, their experience is rendered inordinately complex by multiple overlapping sociocultural, linguistic, and parental circumstances.

Key Words: Latino • Mexico • ADHD • parents’ accounts • psychiatric/mental health
