Results are from multivariable logistic regression of the characteristics above and sharing at the first opportunity. ADHD characteristics that were included were bivariately associated with sharing ( p < 0.1 as cutoff). Models additionally adjusted for patient demographic and clinical characteristics that were bivariately associated with sharing, including child age, race, insurance payer, and ADHD medication use (documented in the EHR or based on parent report).
