Dr Aja Murray and Prof Manuel Eisner research parent-teacher agreement in ADHD symptom trajectories

Members of the VRC Dr Aja Murray and Professor Manuel Eisner have published a paper called Disagreeing about development: An analysis of parent‐teacher agreement in ADHD symptom trajectories across the elementary school years. Co-authors are Dr Tom Booth, Department of Psychology, University of Edinburgh and Denis Ribeaud, Jacobs Centre for Productive Youth Development, University of Zurich.

Parents and teachers often disagree when rating attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder and other disruptive behaviour symptoms. Using parallel process modelling, this study estimates parent-teacher agreement during the primary school years. You can read the abstract and the full paper here.
