SE, standard error; U, Mann–Whitney U-test; Z, difference between standard scores. *p = 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01. 1Cutoff for ADHD according to Costa et al. (2018), 2We found no Brazilian normative values for adolescents in UPPS, so we added parameters – Mean (SD) based in d’Acremont and Van der Linden (2005) community study. This second parameter should be interpreted carefully, since the referred study was conducted with French Adolescents, a different culture from our sample.
