    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

      CAARS-Inv:SV is a 30-item scale containing 3 subscales: the Inattention subscale, the Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscale, and the ADHD Index. The 18-item total ADHD symptom score is the sum of the Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscales. Each item is scored on a 0 to 3 scale (0=not at all, never; 1=just a little, once in a while; 2=pretty much, often; 3=very much, very frequently). The scale assesses symptom severity over the past week. The total score ranges from 0 to 54.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

Individual items are scored on a five-point Likert-like scale from "not at all/never=1" to "extremely/very often=5". The range of scores is 0 to 100. Consistent with the majority of existing quality of life measures, higher scores on the AAQOL-29 indicate better functioning.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Secondary Outcome
    Title Mean Change From Baseline to 12-Week Endpoint on the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Quality of Life-29 (AAQOL-29) Total Score
    Description Patient-reported outcome measure used to examine the disease-specific functional impariments and quality of life for adults with ADHD. The domains included in the AAQOL are life productivity, psychological health, quality of relationships, and life outlook. Individual items are scored on a five-point Likert-like scale from "not at all/never=1" to "extremely/very often=5". The range of scores is 0 to 100. Consistent with the majority of existing quality of life measures, higher scores on the AAQOL-29 indicate better functioning.
    Time Frame Baseline, 12 weeks

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Analyzed was an intent-to-treat population. Included were all randomized patients who had both a baseline and at least 1 post baseline score.
    Arm/Group Title Atomoxetine Placebo

    Description Patient-reported outcome measure used to examine the disease-specific functional impariments and quality of life for adults with ADHD. This subscale asseses quality of relationships. Individual items are scored on a five-point Likert-like scale from "not at all/never=1" to "extremely/very often=5". The range of scores for this subscale is 0 to 100. Consistent with the majority of existing quality of life measures, higher scores on the AAQOL-29 indicate better functioning.

    Description Patient-reported outcome measure used to examine the disease specific functional impairments and quality of life for adults with ADHD. This subscale assesses life productivity. Individual items are scored on a five-point Likert-like scale from "not at all/never=1" to "extremely/very often=5". The range of scores for this subscale is 0 to 100. Consistent with the majority of existing quality of life measures, higher scores on the AAQOL-29 indicate better functioning.

The FTND contains 4 yes-no and 2 multiple choice questions and can be used in a self-report format. The items on FTND are scored 0 to 3 for multiple choice items, the items are summed to yield a total score of 0-10 (0=minimum nicotine dependence; 10=maximum nicotine dependence).

    Description CAARS-Inv:SV is a 30-item scale containing 3 subscales: the Inattention subscale, the Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscale, and the ADHD Index. The 18-item total ADHD symptom score is the sum of the Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscales. Each item is scored on a 0 to 3 scale (0=not at all, never; 1=just a little, once in a while; 2=pretty much, often; 3=very much, very frequently). The scale assesses symptom severity over the past week. The total score ranges from 0 to 54.

    Title Mean Change From Baseline to 12-Week Endpoint on the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version Self Report (BRIEF-A) - Organization of Materials Section
    Description The BRIEF-A Organization of Materials assesses an individuals' organizing skills in his or her everyday environment. The self-report form is designed to be completed by adults 18-90 years of age, including adults with a wide variety of developmental, systemic, neurological, and psychiatric disorders. Observations are rated on a 3-point Likert scale, with 1=behavior is never observed, 2=behavior is sometimes observed, and 3=behavior is often observed - higher ratings indicate greater perceived impairment. The total score ranges from 8 to 24.

    Title Mean Change From Baseline to 12-Week Endpoint on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)
    Description Used to determine the level of daytime sleepiness. The ESS is a self-rated questionnaire with 8 items that describe normative daily situations known to vary in their soporific qualities. Subjects rate the likelihood of dozing off or falling asleep in each of these situations. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale from 0 (would never doze) to 3 (high chance of dozing). The item scores are summed to produce a total score (range of 0-24). Score >10 (95th percentile) are considered to be suggestive of significant daytime sleepiness.

    Title Responders by Baseline Smoking Status
    Description Baseline smoking status was recorded and associations to response to treatment were determined. Response was defined as 25% or greater decrease in ADHD symptoms as measured by the CAARS-Inv:SV total ADHD symptom score. The 18-item total CAARS-Inv:SV ADHD symptom score is the sum of the Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscales. Each item is scored on a 0 to 3 scale (0=not at all, never; 1=just a little, once in a while; 2=pretty much, often; 3=very much, very frequently). The scale assesses symptom severity over the past week. The total score ranges from 0 to 54.

The 18-item total CAARS-Inv:SV ADHD symptom score is the sum of the Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscales.
