, Week 35: Introduction Developmental Psychopathology
Is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) a Dimension or a Category? What
Does the Relationship Between ADHD Traits and Psychosocial Quality of Life Tell Us?
(Arildskov et al., 2024)

Objective: ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, with a prevalence of 5% in children and
adolescents. Reduced Quality of Life (QoL) is one of the negative outcomes. Research
suggests a continuum, meaning neurodevelopmental variation: ADHD traits range from low
to high levels across the population. This study tries to determine whether ADHD is a
discrete category or a continuous dimension, from the perspective of the relationship
between ADHD traits and psychosocial quality of life (QoL), and whether QoL declines
abruptly at a high range of ADHD traits (which would suggest a categorical boundary).

Method: Parents of nearly 2000 school children (ages 6-11) completed the Pediatric Quality
of Life Inventory and the ADHD-Rating Scale IV. Two different statistical approaches were
used (outcome is stated in blue):
(1) rate of decrease in QoL across various ranges on the ADHD traits continuum → QoL
declined gradually and linearly as ADHD trait levels increased (except at the low extreme)
(2) fitting the relationship in a non-linear model → No, this did not fit so there is no evidence
of an abrupt shift.

Results: No evidence was found for a non-linear association or abrupt change in the
reduction of QoL at high levels of ADHD traits. Instead, the relationship was consistently
linear, providing support for a dimensional model.
Functional impairment was found to increase gradually and linearly as ADHD trait levels
rose, supporting the dimensional model of ADHD. There is no sudden and abrupt decrease
in QoL around a specific range of ADHD trait levels. There was no significant relationship
with QoL found for SES, sex, or age, but a significant relationship was found with QoL for
conduct problems and emotional symptoms. Even when controlling for all covariates
(including conduct problems and emotional symptoms), ADHD traits remained related to
QoL. In the final model, the relationship was linear, provided the lowest extreme end was
excluded.

Discussion: Children with ADHD experience lower QoL than children without ADHD, and
this study suggests that this difference is quantitative. High ADHD levels cannot be
considered qualitatively different from lower ADHD trait levels in terms of QoL. No specific
number of ADHD symptoms can be associated with the presence or absence of reduced
QoL.

Implication: Attention should also be given to children just below the diagnostic threshold,
as they may also experience reduced QoL.
