ABSTRACT\n\nObjectives:To determine any long-term effects,6 and 8 years atter childhood enrollment,of the randomly assigned14-month treatments in the NIMH Collaborative Multisite Multimodal Treatment Study of Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(MTA;N=436);to test whether attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)symptom tra-jectory through 3 years predicts outcome in subsequent years;and to examine functioning level of the MTA ado-lescents relative to their non-ADHD peers(local normative comparison group;N=261).Method:Mixed-effectsregression models with planned contrasts at 6 and 8 years tested a wide range of symptom and impairment variablesassessed by parent,teacher,and youth report.Results:In nearly every analysis,the originally randomized treatmentgroups did not differ significantly on repeated measures or newly analyzed variables (e.g.,grades earned in school,arrests,psychiatric hospitalizations,other clinically relevant outcomes).Medication use decreased by 62%after the14-month controiled tnial,but adjusting for this did not change the results.ADHD symptom trajectory in the first 3 yearspredicted 55%of the outcomes.The MTA participants fared worse than the local normative comparison group on91%of the variables tested.Conclusions:Type or intensity of 14 months of treatment for ADHD in childhood (at age  \n7.0-9.9 years)does not predict functioning 6 to 8 years later.Rather,early ADHD symptom trajectory regardless oftreatment type is prognostic.This finding implies that children with behavioral and sociodemographic advantage,with thebest response to any treatment,will have the best long-term prognosis.As a group,however,despite initial symptomimprovement during treatment that is largely maintained after treatment,children with combined-type ADHD exhibitsignificant impairment in adolescence.Innovative treatment approaches targeting specific areas of adolescent impairmentare needed.J.Am.Acad.Child
