This study investigated the impact of Omega-3 supplementation on social and academic outcomes in JSS III students with ADHD in Jigawa State. The cohort comprised predominantly male students (60%) with an average age of 14, attending mostly urban schools (70%). Results indicated a significant increase in social skills ratings from 2.5 to 4 out of 5, with 60% of students experiencing enhanced social interactions and 70% reporting increased confidence. Statistical analyses, including a T-Test (T-Value: 4.57, p < 0.001) and Chi-Square test (χ²: 13.84, p = 0.0002), confirmed these improvements. Academic performance ratings also improved from 2 to 3.5 out of 5, with 65% of students showing better concentration and 60% completing assignments on time. An ANOVA revealed significant differences across schools (F-Value: 3.47, p = 0.001), suggesting environmental factors influence Omega-3’s effectiveness. A MANOVA demonstrated significant multivariate effects (Pillai’s Trace: 0.58, p = 0.007), and a correlation analysis indicated a strong positive relationship (r = 0.67, p < 0.001) between Omega-3 supplementation duration and social skill enhancements. Factor analysis revealed two main contributors to variance: Social Improvement (45%) and Academic Achievement (35%). These findings support Omega-3’s role in improving ADHD management, with implications for reduced stimulant medication dosages and enhanced adolescent development.
