Independent contributions of cognitive functioning and social risk factors to symptoms of ADHD in two Nordic population-based cohorts

• This study examined independent contributions of executive functioning   (EF), state regulation (SR), and social risk factors to symptom   dimensions of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in two   cohorts, which included 221 Norwegian children and 294 Finnish   adolescents. Independent contributions of EF and SR were shown in the   Norwegian cohort and EF contributed independently in the Finnish   cohort. When controlling for each symptom dimension, cognitive   functioning and social risk factors were differentially associated with   inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms. The results show   the need to include both social risk factors and cognitive functioning   to obtain a better understanding of ADHD symptoms.
