AISRS = Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (blind structured interview; IN=inattentive symptoms, TMOP=symptoms relating to time-management, organization, and planning). Conners-Observer-IN=Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scales-Observer: Long Version, Inattention/Memory subscale. BRIEF-A = Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Adult Version. ON-TOP=self-report questionnaire On Time-Management, Organization, and Planning; range of scores for ON-TOP is −102 to +102.
Least Squares Mean Change is change from baseline (pre minus post) adjusted for baseline value.
MCT n=34, Support n=27.
The difference between Groups was no longer significant (Conners-Observer-IN) or no longer approached significance (BRIEF-A) after excluding non-completers and medication changers.
This refers to anxiety observed and rated by the interviewer during the structured interview.
