In addition, the Brief explores the teachers'  ability to identify ADHD subtypes in relation to a  student's gender within the Lebanese context, emphasizing  the differing sociocultural expectations in the behaviors  of boys and girls. <Topics featured in this Brief include:  Current procedures for identifying ADHD in Lebanon.  Lebanese teachers' knowledge about ADHD, their  misconceptions, and factors that influence their opinions.  Biases toward and confusion about disorders on the basis of  perceived gender differences.
