PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, post-intervention, 1-month follow-up

Population: 3 subjects in Atomoxetine group were lost to follow-up.

Score after intervention minus baseline score, score at 1-month follow-up minus baseline score. The possible scores range from 0 to 66, with 66 indicating the best performance.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, post-intervention, 1-month follow-up

Population: 3 subjects in the Atomoxetine group were lost to follow-up.

Score at post-intervention minus baseline, score at 1-month follow-up minus baseline. The score is calculated by summing the scores for 19 individual tasks. The possible scores range from 0 to 57, with higher scores indicating better performance.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, post-intervention, 1-month follow-up

Population: 3 subjects in the Atomoxetine group were lost to follow-up.

Score at post-intervention minus baseline, score at 1-month follow-up minus baseline. Each task is scored as amount of time taken to complete a task, which may range from just over 0 to 120 seconds. If the subject is unable to complete the task within 120 seconds, a score of 121 seconds is given. The scores from the 15 individual tasks are averaged, then the log is taken, resulting in the overall score. Therefore, the larger the score, the longer required to perform the tasks. Negative changes in score indicate that a subject, on average, was able to complete the tasks faster at post-intervention or at 1-month follow-up than at baseline.

Population: This data is not available at this time, as a relocation occurred during the project. Data collected at the previous institution used different software and stored the data in a different format than is currently used. Therefore, reconciliation of this data is being attempted at this time.
