The present study investigated the difference in ADHD prevalence by sexual orientation. Participants (n = 78) completed a survey containing ADHD Self-Report Scale Symptoms Checklist-Adolescent Version (Sonnby et al., 2014). LGB teens are 5.16 times more likely to meet the criteria for ADHD than non-LGB teens after controlling for relevant covariates. More research is needed to investigate the possible difference in ADHD prevalence by sexual orientation through gold-standard diagnostic methods for ADHD.
