METHODS: In a secondary data analysis of 199 childhood ADHD cases and 287 non-ADHD referents (N = 486), reported experiences of peer interactions during elementary, middle, or high school were classified as "bully," "victim," "neither," or "both." Associations were assessed with multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS: Adjusted for male sex, the odds of classification as victim-only, victim/bully, or bully- only (vs. neither) were 3.70 (2.36-5.81), 17.71, and 8.17 times higher for childhood ADHD cases compared to non-ADHD referents. Victim-bullies (62.5%) and bullies (64.3%) had both childhood ADHD and other psychiatric disorders versus 38.4% of victims-only and 17.3% of those classified as "neither." CONCLUSION: The list of serious lifetime consequences of having ADHD also includes bullying. We offer future research directions for determining potential causal pathways.
