Description
Stephen P. Becker led a 2026 study testing short sleep questionnaires for early adolescents with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, known as ADHD. Sleep problems are common in this age group and in ADHD, yet few brief tools have been thoroughly checked for both child and parent reports. The team gave PROMIS Pediatric Sleep Disturbance and Sleep-Related Impairment short forms to 341 children aged ten to twelve, about half with ADHD, along with measures of ADHD, anxiety, and depression symptoms.
Both forms showed strong internal consistency and reasonable links to related measures, with partial support for telling sleep problems apart from other symptoms. Children with ADHD scored higher on both disturbance and daytime impairment than peers, and most gaps held after excluding children taking stimulants. Daytime impairment linked especially strongly and uniquely to depression.
