Gestational Age at Term and Teacher-Reported Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Symptom Patterns.

Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate associations between gestational age and teacher-reported attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-related symptom patterns at age 9 years among children born at term (37-41 weeks).

Study Design: A secondary data analysis of approximately 1400 children in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study, a US birth cohort study that oversampled nonmarital births, was conducted. At age 9 years, students were evaluated by their teachers using the Conners Teacher Rating Scale-Revised Short Form that included subscales for symptoms of hyperactivity, ADHD, oppositional behavior, and cognitive problems/inattention.
