Study population: Adolescents with ADHD at 12-17 years old and their parents. Healthy adolescents at aged 7-12 years old and their parents.

Brief summary: The goal of this study is to assess the agreement between the outcomes of adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who participated in Participation and Environment Measurement Child \& Youth (PEM-CY) by the adolescent and primary caregiver. There are a few studies in the literature that look at the participation of teenagers with ADHD, but none that look at the participation of adolescents with ADHD from both the perspective of the adolescents and the primary caregivers. The primary caregiver's measurement results and the adolescents' measurements do not concur, according to this study's hypothesis.

Detailed description: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood. In addition to fundamental symptoms like inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity, ADHD can be accompanied by a variety of diseases. Adolescents with ADHD are less likely to participate in activities at home, school, or in the community as a result of this. In comparison to children without ADHD, Shimoni et al. found that children with ADHD participate less frequently in most leisure activities, like formal leisure activities less, and have a lower desire for participation in specific leisure activities, such as physical and social leisure activities.

Adolescents and their primary caregivers have disagreements on a variety of topics. This disagreement is also likely to arise when it comes to choose who will participate. Furthermore, while measuring the level of engagement, the need of gathering information from various sources is clear. The Participation and Environment Measurement-Children and Youth (PEM-CY) is a scale that evaluates parents' or caregivers' involvement with children and young people in the home, school, and community. Adolescents with ADHD had lower levels of participation in the home, school, and community than control groups, according to research. However, no study analyzing this level of bidirectional participation could be found in the existing literature (adolescent-primary caregivers).

As a result, the primary goal of this study is to examine the participation of adolescents with ADHD from the perspectives of adolescents and primary caregivers using The Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY), as well as to demonstrate the agreement between these two evaluations. Furthermore, it will be compared to healthy controls in terms of participation and agreement rates.
