Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, School Performance, and Effect of Medication

Abstract: Objective: Individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk of poor school performance and pharmacological treatment of ADHD may have beneficial effects on school performance. Conclusions from previous research have been limited by small sample sizes, outcome measures, and treatment follow-up. The current study analyzed school performance in students with ADHD compared to students without ADHD, and the association between pharmacological treatment of ADHD and school perfor… Show more

“…The directions of the associations were in line with previous studies on the association of school performance with risk for psychiatric disorders. 4,5,[14][15][16]31 The genetic correlations of E1 with the psychiatric disorders mirrored the corresponding phenotypic associations in all except SCZ ( Fig. 3b; Supplementary Table 9).…”

“…This is in line with a large body of observational evidence suggesting that beyond IQ, ADHD traits and disorder are associated with poor academic outcomes 37,38 . In addition, there is increasing evidence using large cohort and registry data suggesting beneficial effects of ADHD medication on academic performance and outcomes 39,40 . Therefore, our results support and encourage early interventions for ADHD phenotypic expressions in order to improve the academic outcomes of children with ADHD .…”
