Once the participants (parents/caregivers) sign the consent form, a series of questionnaires that investigate their demographic data: gender, date of birth, height, weight, past medical history, taking medication daily or not to all children. Their caregiver will also be given a questionnaire to retrieve their relationship status, age, education level, annual income, and pressure scale. Children with ADHD will be diagnosed within DSM-V or previous version by experienced paediatric psychiatrists in Australia. On-line survey link will be given to parents/caregivers of children to report lifestyle pattern which will consist: children diet quality with food frequency questionnaire; levels of physical activity in weekly with Children's Leisure Activities Study Survey-Parent Questionnaire (CLASS); sleep quality that will complete by their caregivers with Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire, CSHQ; children self-reported weekly screening time (smart phone, tablets, laptop, television, e-Reader) and how much they will spend on these devices before one-hour bedtime. And children with ADHD will use Child Behaviour Checklist to assess the disease severity in children with ADHD.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Parents/caregivers of children 8-12 years old
2. Children with ADHD will have had a diagnosis of ADHD made by a health professional by parents/caregivers reported.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
1. Children with a current history of intellectual disability which means their intelligence quotient belows 70, that will cause significantly differences in their behaviours. This will be determined by self-report with the screening question at the beginning of online survey: "Has your child been formally diagnosed by a mental health practitioner (e.g., psychologist or psychiatrist) as having an intellectual disability?"
2. Children with a past history of seizure which will cause significantly differences in their behaviours. This will be determined by self-report with the screening question at the beginning of online survey: "Has your child experienced the seizure in past year?"
This change is under full discussion.

Statistical methods / analysis
The Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare the differences between children with ADHD and children without ADHD on nonparametric variables (gender, levels of physical activity, and number of comorbidities, education level of caregivers, annual income of caregivers). ANOVA will be used to examine lifestyle patterns (dietary, physical activity, sleep quality, screening time), demographic (height, weight, age) differences in children with ADHD and typically developing children. ANOVA will also be used to compare intercultural differences in parametric outcome variables as lifestyle patterns (dietary, physical activity, sleep quality, screening time), demographic (height, weight, age). Structural equation modelling (SEM) or pathway analysis (PA) will be performed to determine the most significant factors among the lifestyle pattern investigations (dietary, levels of physical activity, screening time, sleep quality, education level of caregivers, annual income of caregivers, and pressure of caregivers) that could influence the disease severity and discover interactions between lifestyle pattern in children with ADHD.
