Note: N = 716. All measures are scaled so that a positive B indicates an association between higher levels of SCT and ADHD and greater neuropsychological weakness.

a

point estimates from amodel in which inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity, and SCT were entered simultaneously as independent variables. Full scale IQ and symptoms of MDD, GAD, ODD, and CD were then entered simultaneously as covariates in a second step (Supplement Table 4).

b

the effect was not significant after FSIQ and symptoms of MDD, GAD, ODD, and CD were added (P > .05).
