Within-ADHD comparisons of adverse outcomes between extreme-DESR and non-DESR groups. The study reports "higher risk for traffic accidents (z = 2.15, p<0.05) and being arrested (z = 2.31, p<0.05)"; marital findings were never-married/divorced rates of 22.5/20.7% versus 32.6/9.0% at p<0.05.
"ADHD subjects with extreme DESR had higher risk for traffic accidents (z = 2.15, p<0.05) and being arrested (z = 2.31, p<0.05) than ADHD subjects without DESR."
