  1. ADHD Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, SE standard error
  2. The statistical analyses were performed with general linear models conducted in two steps
  3. Inattention and hyperactivity were assessed with the subscales of Adult ADHD self-report scale for adolescents, where each subscale ranges from 0 to 36. Emotional and conduct problems were assessed with the Strengths & Difficulties Questionnaire, where each subscale ranges from 0 to 10. Functional impairment was assessed with Child Sheehan Disability Scale, where overall impairment ranges from 0 to 30 and impairment in each life domain ranges from 0 to 10
