[1]	There are 3 subtypes of ADHD as defined by the DSM-IV-TR. Inattentive, Hyperactive/Impulsive and combined subtype (hyperactive/impulsive and inattentive). "Other subtype" refers to individuals who are not of the combined subtype but instead are either hyperactive/impulsive or inattentive type.
[2]	Rating scale filled out by the parents/caregivers. Scale consists of 28 questions divided into four subscales of oppositional problems, cognitive problems, hyperactivity and an ADHD index. Questions scored on a 4 point scale (0-3; 84 points possible), where a higher score indicates more severe symptom presentation.
[3]	An 18-item scale corresponding to the 18 items in the DSM-IV-TR that is divided into two subsclaes: hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattentiveness. Items scored on a 4-point frequency scale ranging from 0=never/rarely to 3=very often; 54 points possible with higher score indicating more severe symptoms. Rating scale is filled out by the caregiver.
[4]	Sleep latency was taken by patient diary which included questions for the caregiver and patient to answer together regarding sleep patterns (time to sleep, duration of sleep, night awakenings, sleep quality)
[5]	Total sleep time was taken by patient diary which included questions for the caregiver and patient to answer together regarding sleep patterns (time to sleep, duration of sleep, night awakenings, sleep quality)
[6]	Sleep quality was documented by patient diary which included questions for the caregiver and patient to answer together regarding sleep patterns (time to sleep, duration of sleep, night awakenings, sleep quality). Assessed on a 5 point scale (0-lowest quality; 5-highest quality)

Certain Agreements:

Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.

There is NOT an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.

Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Small sample size, did not permit an examination of more specific differences among patch wear time conditions. Small sample size resulted in weaker randomization to patch wear time sequences that was not completely balanced in baseline covariates.
