Final mediation path analysis predicting risky behavior separately in each domain. Values reflect unstandardized regression coefficients of indirect effects and of direct effect (after considering other mediators) of ADHD on risky behavior. The covariates of age and gender are not shown in for visual clarity. N = 244 (132 females, 112 males).
