The ADHD diagnostic module of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Interview (CAPA) by Angold et al. [34] in the German-language DSM-5 version (translated by Dr. Yvonne Otto, Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinic, University of Leipzig) was conducted with the mothers of all children to confirm the presence or absence of an ADHD diagnosis. The CAPA is a well-validated, widely established clinical interview that allows clinical diagnoses to be made according to the DSM-5.

Of the 98 children with ADHD, 59 children (41 boys) presented with combined inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms according to the DSM-5 (ADHD-C) and 35 children (17 boys) presented with predominantly inattentive symptoms (ADHD-I). The remaining four children (three boys) presented with predominantly hyperactive/impulsive symptoms and were excluded.
