Question:
The cutoff birth date for school entry in British Columbia, Canada, is December 31. As a result, children born in December tend to be the youngest in their grade, whereas those born in January tend to be the oldest. Morrow et al. (2012) examined how this relative age difference influenced diagnosis and treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A total of 39,136 boys aged 6 to 12 years and registered in school in 1997–1998 had January birth dates. Of these, 2219 were diagnosed with ADHD in that year. A total of 38,977 boys had December birth dates, of which 2870 were diagnosed with ADHD in that year. Display the association between birth month and ADHD diagnosis using a table or graphical method from this chapter. Is there an association?
