The objective was to investigate whether adolescents with ADHD have greater intraindividual variability of sleep/wake…

Breaux, Rosanna P.; Langberg, Joshua M.; Bourchtein, Elizaveta; Eadeh, Hana-May; Molitor, Stephen J.; Smith, Zoe R. – School Psychology, 2019
In the present study, we sought to examine response trajectories to brief (11-week) school-based homework interventions and factors that may help schools predict responses. Participants included 222 middle-school students (72% boys; M[subscript age] = 12.00 years, SD = 1.02) who had been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder…

Objective: Because of significant individual variability in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication response, there is increasing interest in identifying genetic predictors of treatment effects. This study examined the role of four catecholamine-related candidate genes in moderating methylphenidate (MPH) dose-response. Method:…
