Do ADHD Children With and Without Child Behavior Checklist-Dysregulation Profile Have Different Clinical Characteristics, Cognitive Features, and Treatment Outcomes?

Conclusion: Variables that were independently associated with CBCL-DP were clinical severity (ADHD Rating Scale [ADHD-RS]), internalized disorders, high emotionality (EAS), and low self-directedness (JTCI). CBCL-DP was associated neither with poorer response to methylphenidate nor with more side effects. There were no differences in cognitive performances between participants with and without CBCL-DP.
