Results: Of 602 respondents, 395 had low/medium adherence (LMA: MAR-Scale total score ≥1) and 207 had high adherence (HA: MAR-Scale total score 0). After adjusting for covariates, the LMA group had significantly greater levels of absenteeism, absenteeism-related indirect costs, and total indirect costs (all p Conclusion: In adults with ADHD using oral psychostimulants, lower medication adherence was associated with greater absenteeism and indirect costs. |
