Abstract

This study examined impairment in multiple domains of functioning in children with and without ADHD who present with high or low levels of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) while taking into account the total symptom ratings of ADHD. Participants were 584 children in kindergarten through eighth grade (55.7 % male, 91.7 % Caucasian), drawn from five archival datasets. Two, 2 (SCT groups: high and low) x 3 (ADHD Status: ADHD-I, ADHD-C, and non-ADHD) MANCOVAs were conducted with the total ADHD symptom ratings and child age as covariates. One MANCOVA was conducted on scores on the teacher Impairment Rating Scale (IRS; Fabiano et al. Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology 35:369–385, 2006) and the other on the 6 scores on the parent IRS. The results indicated that the presence of SCT symptoms was associated with greater functional impairment at home according to parent report while it was associated with less functional impairment at school according to teacher report. Thus, the relationship between SCT symptoms and impairment differs depending on the informant and the context in which impairment is evaluated.

Because McBurnet et al. (2001) used the ADHD symptom of forgetful to determine SCT status, they excluded this symptom when determining classification of ADHD, allowing participants to meet the threshold for ADHD-I with only 5 of 8 symptoms or for ADHD-C with only 11 of 17 symptoms. Thus, in addition to the grouping described here and the analyses below, we also categorized participants with the forgetful item excluded and re-conducted all analyses. The percentage of children classified with ADHD across the two methods only differed by about 1 %. Furthermore, MANCOVA results yielded the same patterns as described below.
