Can prosocial behavior buffer symptom severity and impairment in children and adolescents with ADHD symptoms in a clinical setting?
Our results suggest that prosocial behavior should be considered in clinical practice when evaluating impairment scores for ADHD. Finally, our findings plead for more in-depth measures of social protective factors and across different levels, including individual, family, and community levels. This approach will help identify factors that, independently of risks, may positively impact the functioning of these children.
