To assess employer economic burden of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for employees with ADHD and employee caregivers of children with ADHD.
A large multi-employer database was used to compare: 1) employees diagnosed with ADHD versus employees without ADHD and 2) employee caregivers of children with ADHD versus employee caregivers of children without ADHD. Regression modeling compared many employer-relevant outcomes.
The study found significantly higher annual health benefit costs ($6885 versus $4242), absence days (8.86 versus 7.16), and turnover (8.99% versus 5.26%) for employees with ADHD (n = 539) versus employees without ADHD (n = 93,722), respectively (all P < 0.01). Similar results were found for employee caregivers of children with ADHD.
Employees with ADHD and those caring for children with ADHD are associated with a significantly higher burden in employer-relevant outcomes such as health benefit costs, absences, and terminations.
评估患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的员工和儿童 ADHD 员工照顾者的雇主经济负担。
使用大型多雇主数据库比较：1）患有 ADHD 的员工与没有 ADHD 的员工，以及 2）儿童 ADHD 员工照顾者与儿童没有 ADHD 的员工照顾者。回归模型比较了许多与雇主相关的结果。
研究发现，患有 ADHD 的员工（n = 539）的年度健康福利成本（$6885 与 $4242）、缺勤天数（8.86 与 7.16）和离职率（8.99%与 5.26%）显著高于没有 ADHD 的员工（n = 93722）（均 P < 0.01）。儿童 ADHD 员工照顾者也有类似的结果。
患有 ADHD 的员工和照顾儿童 ADHD 的员工与雇主相关的结果（如健康福利成本、缺勤和终止）负担显著增加。
