Executive functional deficits (EFDs) play an important role in functional impairment in adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). More knowledge of executive function (EF) profiles and informant discrepancies will guide clinicians and provide tailored treatment advice. The objectives of this study were to use teacher, parent, and self-reported EF ratings to describe (a) problem profiles and (b) the correlation and agreement between informants. This study included 100 adolescents aged 14-18 years with ADHD still experiencing clinically impairing symptoms despite standard treatment including medication. EFs were measured using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). Agreement between informants was quantified using Pearson correlation and informant discrepancies were analyzed using paired samples t-test. Overall, the results indicated considerable EFDs in the study population. Correlation and agreement varied between the informants. Agreement was highest between adolescents and their parents, especially for female participants, and lowest between male participants and their teachers. Teachers reported the highest level of EFDs, whereas adolescents generally self-reported EFDs at a lower level than both parents and teachers. Identifying and tailoring treatment for EFDs might improve future prognosis for adolescents with ADHD, however, self-awareness of these difficulties is a challenge that needs to be considered when planning interventions.
