Longitudinal Trajectory of Inattention Symptoms Predicts Depression in Korean Adolescents: Mediating Effects of Peer Relationship

The findings suggest that inattention trajectories varied across developmental periods, and peer relationship mediates the association between the trajectory of inattention and depression.
