Abstract
Women with childhood histories of ADHD experience increased rates of unplanned pregnancies, which can alter their life trajectories, finances, and the child’s future. We aim to elucidate the relation between childhood ADHD and adulthood unplanned pregnancy by investigating the potential mediating role of adolescent executive functioning (EF).
