Health Risk Factors and ADHD: New Findings From the Community-Based Replication Project to Learn About Youth-Mental Health (Re-PLAY-MH).
Article in Journal of attention disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveADHD is a commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder in the U.S., with symptoms including hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. These symptoms can lead to increased engagement in unhealthy behaviors. The current study examined the associations between health risk factors and ADHD among a community-based sample of 345 students (4th-12th grade) by ADHD alone or with co-occurring disorders, ADHD medication use, and ADHD symptom count. Distinct from prior studies, our analysis also examined associations among pairs of health risk factors by ADHD diagnostic criteria.
methodData came from the Replication Project to Learn About Youth-Mental Health, using a two-stage design, incorporating teacher, parent, and student reported data.
resultStudents with ADHD experienced a higher prevalence of not using a bike helmet (prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.01, 1.35]), being bullied, threatened, or feeling unsafe at school (PR = 1.83, 95% CI [1.02, 3.30]) carrying a weapon (PR = 7.02, 95% CI [2.58, 19.08]), and feeling sad or hopeless within the past 2 weeks (PR = 2.74, 95% CI [1.01, 7.47]) compared to those with no disorder. Students with ADHD exhibited different risk associations compared to those with no disorder, specifically for interpersonal violence risk. Medication treatment for ADHD was not associated with fewer health risks, except that students taking ADHD medication were less likely to skip breakfast (PR = 0.40, 95% CI [0.20, 0.78]) compared to those without ADHD. Higher ADHD symptom counts were associated with elevated television screen time, stimulant medication misuse, physical fight involvement, and carrying a weapon (
conclusionEvaluating participation in health risk factors and developing tailored interventions may benefit youth with ADHD, regardless of treatment status.
