Mean ± SD | Min | Max | Clinical cases (N (%))a,b | N | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ADHD score at age 3 years | 3.1 ± 2.3 | 0.0 | 11.0 | 42 (6.8%) | 618 |
ADHD score at age 6 years | 3.2 ± 2.6 | 0.0 | 12.0 | 41 (5.3%) | 777 |

Any ADHD score that falls below the 93rd percentile is considered normal, scores above the 93 percentile are borderline clinical, or clinical cases (Achenbach and Rescorla, 2000, 2001).
We utilized the cut-off values recommended by the authors of the SRS for screening in population-based studies (consistent with weighted scores of 1.078 for boys and 1.000 for girls) (Constantino et al., 2003).
