Abstract

Secondary analysis was performed using data (N = 50,892) from NSCH. Regression analysis was performed regressing ADHD severity on age, sex, race/ethnicity, prematurity, and birth weight (BW). Premature children with very low BW showed the most severe ADHD symptoms. Children born full-term and with very low BW showed the least.
