Multi-level logistic regression with site as level 2 variable and random slope. Comorbid disorder [depression/(hypo)mania/antisocial personality disorder (APD)/borderline] as dependent variable and subtype of ADHD as independent variable, with no ADHD as reference category. σ2u [standard error (SE)] depression 0.45 (0.24); (hypo)mania, 3.23 (1.62); APD 0.41 (0.21); borderline personality disorder 0.73 (0.35), all σu2 in logit scale. All odds ratios (ORs) adjusted for age, gender, marital status, housing, employment status and primary substance of abuse (alcohol/drugs).
