A pilot study on religiousness/spirituality and ADHD.
BACKGROUND: The phenomena of religiousness and spirituality bear on issues of personal behavioral control and interpersonal relationships. Behavioral control and social relationships can be affected by attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). AIM: The object ofthis pilot study was to explore possible connections between religiousness/spirituality and the clinical diagnosis ADHD. A group of adolescent psychiatric outpatients (n=117) completed the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality. Clinical diagnosis was obtained from the clinic chart. RESULTS: Logistic regression modeling revealed no significant relation between the various dimensions of religiousness/spirituality and diagnosis of ADHD. CONCLUSIONS: The findings presented here are in need of replication but could add to clinical understanding of ADHD.
