This article takes up where our previous article
left off (Gordon et al., 2005, The ADHD Report ,
13(4), p. 1–9) concerning the relationship of
severity of ADHD symptoms to degree of impairment in
major life activities. It expands upon and extends
our earlier work while also qualifying some of our
previous conclusions. It examines this relationship
and the determination of impairment from several
additional methods and perspectives and using
several additional large databases in addition to
re–analyzing data from two of those used in the
earlier paper. Our earlier article examined the
relationship of severity of ADHD symptoms, variously
measured, to each of a number of specific and
discrete measures of impairment. It found that ADHD
symptoms showed low to moderate relationships
(correlations) with each of those specific measures
of impairment. (article continues, see below).
