Abstract: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder requiring early, accurate diagnosis for timely intervention. We evaluated GraphSAGE, a Graph Neural Network, against XGBoost using data from 42,041 children in the 2022 National Survey of Children's Health. GraphSAGE outperformed XGBoost (F1 score: 0.8331 vs. 0.8241).
