Females With ADHD Report More Severe Symptoms Than Males on the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale.
Journal of Attention Disorders 2016 July 26
OBJECTIVE: To investigate gender differences in self-reported ADHD symptoms in a group of adults with ADHD and a control group.
METHODS: A total of 682 adults with ADHD (49.9% females) and 882 controls (59.2% females) completed the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS), listing the 18 symptoms included in the diagnostic criteria of ADHD.
RESULTS: Within the ADHD group, females reported more severe symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity than males. This higher symptom report of females was not found in the control group, where the number of severe inattention symptoms rather was higher in males.
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that childhood symptoms of ADHD may have gone unnoticed in girls, emphasizing the need for longitudinal studies of ADHD symptoms across the life span.
