Longitudinal follow-up of
Youth with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder identified in
Community Settings: Examining Health Status, Correlates, and
Effects associated with treatment for ADHD
OMB approves
data collection for waves 4 and 5 of this study. Due to concerns
about diminishing response rates over time, OMB requires a
continuing assessment of the potential for nonresponse bias over
time and a commitment to systematically present the nonresponse
bias analysis and its implications whenever the results of any of
the waves are presented.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders of
childhood, and is characterized by inattention,
impulsivity/hyperactivity or both, such that daily functioning is
compromised in multiple settings (DSM-IV-TR, 2000 diagnostic
criteria; APA, 2000). ADHD affects about 3-7% of school age
children with recent estimates suggesting higher rates in some
socio-demographic groups. CDC estimates that roughly 2.5 million
children were taking medications to treat ADHD in 2003, although
substantial disparities exist in rates of both parent-reported
diagnosis and treatment across US states (MMWR, 2005). ADHD often
persists into adolescence and can affect behavior and functioning
even in adults. However, little is known about the disorder's
developmental trajectory from non-clinical samples of youth
identified and treated for ADHD through usual community care. The
proposed project would follow up the participants for two
additional annual assessments, i.e., wave 4 and 5, following the
participants, who were initially recruited in elementary school,
into older adolescence towards young adulthood. Funding will be
provided to the University of South Carolina, where sufficient
numbers of participants were able to be retained in the first waves
of follow-up data collection. The additional waves for PLAY study
follow-up will allow the CDC to address the imminent public health
concerns around ADHD diagnosis and treatment and better understand
and promote the health status of youth with ADHD particularly in
older adolescents.

Data collection for Wave 4 and
5 constitutes a program change due to the revision of the data
collection procedures for the youth participants who have reached
high school age. The burden on the individual youth participant
does not change because the People In My Life questionnaire used
for the previous protocol does not need to be repeated annually and
thus will not be part of Wave 4 and 5. This decreases the burden by
15 minutes per child. The Dating Violence Survey as well as the
additional items on the Health Risk Behavior Survey add 15 minutes
and thus result in the same overall burden. (see A.15 in the
