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.
q2 i? Single-parent status, council/housing-association tenure, younger maternal age and financial difficulties each predicted ADHD in unadjusted logistic regression. → Russell AE 2015
Evidence¶
Russell AE 2015¶
Russell AE, Ford T, Russell G (2015) Socioeconomic Associations with ADHD: Findings from a Mediation Analysis. PLoS ONE 10(6): e0128248. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0128248
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Unadjusted logistic regressions in ALSPAC (N = 8,132): single parent OR 1.70 (95% CI 1.09–2.66), council/HA rent OR 1.84 (1.22–2.76), maternal age OR 0.96 (0.93–0.99), financial difficulties OR 2.23 (1.57–3.16). The article reports these as "significant predictors of ADHD".
"As shown in Table 2, in unadjusted logistic regression significant predictors of ADHD were housing tenure, marital status, mothers ’age at birth and financial difficulties"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Neighborhood effects on graduation appear to operate in part through neighborhood effects on parents (time-varying family characteristics) — related
- Children with ADHD in the cohort were disproportionately male and from families reporting financial difficulty or social housing — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Family adversity and lower parental involvement mediate 27.8% of the association between early financial difficulty and ADHD at age 7 — related
- Parental education and occupational status showed no significant association with ADHD in this sample — related
- Perceived financial difficulty in early childhood is the socioeconomic indicator most strongly associated with a research diagnosis of ADHD at age 7 — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
