Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that atomoxetine is superior to other early standard therapy (any treatment that investigator considers is appropriate to initiate for the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder [ADHD]) on the long term functioning in approximately 400 children and adolescents with ADHD. Patients will be pharmacological naïve prior to entry into the study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline to 6 Month Endpoint in Child Health and Illness Profile - Child Edition, Parent Report Form (CHIP-CE PRF), Achievement Domain
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months
CHIP-CE PRF: parent rated assessment of a child's health status/level of functioning. The achievement domain describes developmentally appropriate role functioning in school and with peers. The majority of items assess frequency of activities or feelings using a 5-point response format (1=never, 5=always). Standard scores (T-scores) were established, with all domains and subdomains having a mean score of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Normative range is 40 to 60. Higher scores indicate better health and lower scores indicate worse health.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline to 4 Month and 12 Month Endpoints in CHIP-CE PRF, Achievement Domain(Baseline, 4 months, 12 months)
- Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in the CHIP-CE PRF Domain Scores (Satisfaction, Comfort, Resilience and Risk Avoidance)(Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months)
- Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale-Parent Report (WFIRS-P)(Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months)
- Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale - Parent Version: Investigator Adminitered and Scored (ADHD-RS-IV Parent:Inv)(Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months)
- Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in Clinical Global Impression Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - Severity (CGI-ADHD-S)(Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months)
- Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in the CHIP-CE CRF for Children (6-11 Years)(Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months)
- Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in the CHIP-Adolescent Edition (AE) for Adolescents (>11-17 Years)(Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months)
- Correlation Between CHIP-CE Parent Rated and Pooled CHIP-CE Child Rated and CHIP AE Adolescent Rated T-Scores(Baseline, 6 months)
