Abstract

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of disability and mortality in youth across the United States and globally. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been associated with an increased rate of unintentional injuries in multiple countries and in a recent meta-analysis of those studies in youth. The study Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Medication and Unintentional Injuries in Children and Adolescents Ghirardi and colleagues in this Issue of the Journal adds to this literature by examining this issue within stratifications of injury and of characteristics of the youth with ADHD.
