Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i1 In the binary logistic regression, males were significantly more likely than females to report probable ADHD (OR=1.56, CI 1.23–1.96). → Sanderud K. 2016

q3 · i1 · associational · r2
Gender effect from the same binary logistic regression model (χ2(4)=82.81, p<0.001) in the Danish national survey; Table 3 prints B=0.44 (SE 0.12), OR=1.56, CI 1.23–1.96, p<0.001 for males versus females.
"Males were significantly more likely than females to report probable ADHD (OR=1.56)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Abuse typology groups differed significantly on overall ADHD symptom scores, with only the non-abused group differing significantly from the three abuse groups in post hoc analysis
- In a national sample of young Danish adults, all three maltreatment latent classes showed significantly increased risk of probable ADHD relative to the non-abused class, strongest for the overall abuse class (OR=5.08), then emotional abuse (OR=3.09) and sexual abuse (OR=2.07)
- 14.5% of the sample scored above the ASRS cutoff for probable ADHD, and the overall abuse latent class was especially associated with ADHD symptoms (35.9% above cutoff vs 10.1% of the non-abused group)
- The ADHD–depression association does not significantly differ by sex, though point estimates are slightly stronger in females
- Deepfake behaviours show gender patterns: males more likely to have shared deepfakes, females more likely to have reported them — related
