Note.
PNT = Perceived Need for Treatment; COD = Co-Occurring Diagnosis; I/D = Inattentive/Disorganized Scale; H/I = Hyperactive/Impulsive Scale

In order to account for potential influence of co-occurring diagnoses (i.e., diagnoses other than ADHD) on PNT, the total number of co-occurring diagnoses for each adolescent was included as a covariate.
For Adolescent PNT, R2 change was .06 for Step 1 (p > .01), .09 for Step 2 (p < .001), and .01 for Step 3 (ns).
For Caregiver PNT, R2 change was .01 for Step 1 (ns), .28 for Step 2 (p < .001), and .04 for Step 3 (p = .06).
