It remains unknown if the association between ADHD and bullying also extends to non-clinical populations. Objectives To assess if subclinical ADHD symptoms associates with bully victimization in childhood and adolescence. Methods 1557 non-clinical adults completed the 6-item Adult Self-Report Scale Screener (ASRS) and answered questions concerning bully victimization. ADHD and ASD diagnoses served as exclusion criteria. Prevalence rates of bully victimization (defined as bullied ≥twice monthly) were compared at different time periods between those with- and without a positive ASRS-screener (cut-off score ≥4/6) by chi-square tests. Moreover, logistic regression evaluated the association while adjusting for candidate covariates age and sex. Results Out of the total sample 1332 individuals (mean age=42, 60% female) scored negative and 217 individuals (mean age=36, 70% female) scored positive on the ASRS-screener while 8 had missing data on age or sex.
