Childhood ADHD diagnosis was associated with a 45% higher rate of motor vehicle crashes in adulthood compared to controls, after adjusting for driving experience, sex, age, ODD/CD comorbidity, househo

Adults whose childhood ADHD persisted into adulthood had a 46% higher rate of motor vehicle crashes than adults whose ADHD desisted, after adjusting for driving experience, sex, age, ODD/CD, household

Adults with persistent ADHD had an 81% higher rate of motor vehicle crashes than adults who never had ADHD, after adjusting for driving experience, sex, age, ODD/CD, household income, substance use, a

Adults whose childhood ADHD desisted by adulthood did not have a significantly increased rate of motor vehicle crashes compared to adults who never had ADHD, after full covariate adjustment.

Effect: null; IRR = 1.24; CI: CI = 0.96 to 1.61

Higher mean adult ADHD symptom levels were significantly associated with more motor vehicle crashes within the childhood ADHD group, with both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptom dimensi
