Note. ΔR2 is the proportion of variance in the dependent variable explained by contrasts between local normative comparison group (LNCG), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) desistence and ADHD persistence after controlling for participant age. For categorical dependent variables, the Nagelkerke R2 is reported.

a

Betas presented in absolute value format.

b

Effect sizes for continuous dependent variables are Cohen’s d, calculated using a pooled standard deviation weighted by group size. Effect sizes for categorical dependent variables are odds ratios.

c

Since last assessment or high school, whichever is more recent.

d

Currently receiving public assistance or not, reported as a percentage who are. B coefficients are log-odds estimates from logistic regression.

e

Indicates that the contrast is statistically significant after applying the Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate correction for multiple comparisons.
