“…The Korean version of the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) was used to assess depressive symptoms in children with ADHD. A CDI sum score of 20 was identified as the optimal screening cut-off score, for which the sensitivity was 0.83 and the specificity was 0.89 in Korean adolescents 29). We also assessed participants using the Korean Internet Addiction Self-scale (K-scale), with total K-scale scores representing the severity of problematic internet use.…”
