註釋The following experiment was designed to determine if there is a relationship between self-reported symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and performance on both a computerized measure of concussion, the Concussion Resolution Index, and the Standardized Assessment of Concussion. Symptoms of ADHD were measured using the Conner's Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CARRS). Two hundred and sixty-two student athletes were used in the analyses to determine if there was a relationship between higher ADHD symptom endorsement and worse performance on the baseline concussion measures. Correlational Pearson (bivariate) and comparative (t-test) analyses indicated that in general, those with higher self-endorsement of ADHD symptoms did not perform significantly differently than did those with lower rates of symptom endorsement. Further, athletes reporting a previous diagnosis of ADHD did not perform differently on the baseline measures than did those who were not previously diagnosed with ADHD, despite typically endorsing more symptoms on the CAARS. The results indicate that self-reported symptoms of ADHD are unrelated to performance on baseline measures of concussion, but that further research is needed to determine if a relationship between ADHD and performance on concussion measures exists for both baseline and post-trauma assessment.
