ImpactModerate impact

The discussion raises awareness of potential clinical considerations but stops short of emphasizing widespread or transformative impact.

Abstract in brief

  • The study found that children with ADHD Combined Type (ADHD-CT) who have lower motor skills and more severe ADHD symptoms tend to experience more sleep problems, but this pattern was not seen in typically developing children.
  • Motor proficiency acts as a moderating factor, meaning it influences the strength of the relationship between ADHD symptoms and sleep issues specifically in children with ADHD-CT.
  • The results suggest that improving motor skills might help reduce sleep problems in children with ADHD-CT, highlighting the importance of considering motor development in managing ADHD-related sleep issues.

Paper 51: Papadopoulos et al. (2018) (Read for our new journal club) Children who reported higher ADHD symptoms and lower motor proficiency scores reported more sleep problems. The moderation effect did not hold in a typically developing group. https://t.co/zf4MMKYFHl
