Participant Flow

Recruitment started in 2011 and ended in 2018. Participants were primarily recruited from the community through advertisements in local newspapers and flyers posted in local establishments. Participants were also recruited from other research studies and doctor's offices.

18 ADHD participants withdrew or were excluded from the study prior to randomization and thus are not included. Participants who withdrew were no longer interested in treatment or were lost to follow-up. Participants were excluded due to subthreshold ADHD symptoms, comorbid psychiatric conditions, \& MRI contraindications.
