Data are missing for:

a

b

n = 6 ADHD-risk and 1 low-risk at 12 months, n = 2 ADHD-risk and 2 low-risk at 18 months, and n = 7 ADHD-risk and 4 low-risk at 24 months;

c

n = 6 ADHD-risk and 1 low-risk at 12 months, n = 2 ADHD-risk and 2 low-risk at 18 months, and n = 6 ADHD-risk and 4 low-risk at 24 months;

p < .05 at specified age for the linear contrast estimating visit-specific differences between the ADHD-risk and low-risk groups from mixed-effect linear regression models for examiner ratings, mixed-effect negative binomial regression models for behavior codes, and mixed-effect logistic regression model for parent concerns.
