      <p><i>Introduction:</i> Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most common mental disorders in children and adolescents, and it is a strong risk factor for several adverse psychosocial outcomes over the lifespan. There are large between-country and within-country variations in diagnosis and medication rates. Due to ethical and practical considerations, a few studies have examined ...

      Widding-Havnerås, Tarjei; Elwert, Felix; Markussen, Simen; Zachrisson, Henrik Daae; Lyhmann, Ingvild; Chaulagain, Ashmita; Bjelland, Ingvar; Halmøy, Anne; Rypdal, Knut; Mykletun, Arnstein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-24)
      ADHD is associated with an increased risk of injury. Causal evidence for efects of pharmacological treatment on injuries is scarce. We estimated efects of ADHD medication on injuries using variation in provider preference as an instrumental variable (IV). Using Norwegian registry data, we followed 8051 patients who were diagnosed with ADHD aged 5 to 18 between 2009 and 2011 and recorded their ADHD ...

      Objective: Criminality rates are higher among persons with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and evidence that medication reduces crime is limited. Medication rates between clinics vary widely even within universal health care systems, partly because of providers’ treatment preferences. We used this variation to estimate causal effects of pharmacological treatment of ADHD on 4-year ...
