The association between parenting stress, depressed mood and
informant agreement in ADHD and ODD
Results: Low agreement was found for hyperactive and moderate agreement for inattentive, ODD and CD symptoms.
Stepwise regression analyses showed that parenting stress, and not parental depressed mood accounted for 12% of the
variance in inattention symptoms disagreement, 14% of the variance in hyperactive symptoms disagreement and 9% in
oppositional behavior disagreement. No significant predictors were found for CD disagreement. The found effect was
independent of stimulant medication use.
