“…McClellan et al (1990) found an increased rate of ADHD in the offspring of panic disordered adults vs. depressed and normal adults. Also, Reeves, Werry, Elkind, and Zametkin (1987) found anxious and ADHD children to be similar with regard to neurodevelopment, family background, and parental factors.…”

“…Five studies using such assessments met criteria for inclusion in the technical review. 4 Reeves and colleagues 64 found that children with ADHD evidenced higher rates of neurodevelopment abnormalities than comparison control children on 9 tests of sensorimotor coordination, but no differences between groups were found for prenatal or perinatal problems or speech problems. Trommer and colleagues 65 found that children with ADHD evidenced a greater number of errors on a psychomotor task designed to assess inattention.…”

ABSTRACT. Research literature relating to the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and co-occurring conditions in children from primary care settings and the general population is reviewed as the basis of the American Academy of Pediatrics clinical practice guideline for the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD. Epidemiologic studies revealed prevalence rates generally ranging from 4% to 12% in the general population of 6 to 12 year olds. Similar or slightly lower rates of ADHD were revealed in pediatric primary care settings. Other behavioral, emotional, and learning problems significantly co-occurred with ADHD. Also reviewed were rating scales and medical tests that could be employed in evaluating ADHD. The utility of using both parent-and teacher-completed rating scales that specifically assess symptoms of ADHD in the diagnostic process was supported. Recommendations were made regarding the assessment of children with suspected ADHD in the pediatric primary care setting. Pediatrics 2001;107(3).

ADHD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; TRI, Technical Resources International; DSM, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual; DISC, Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children; EEG, electroencephalogram; ERP, event-related potential.A ttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has defining features of inattention, overactivity, and impulsivity. 1 It is the most frequently encountered childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder in primary care settings. Symptoms frequently co-occur with other emotional, behavioral, and learning problems, including oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, depression, anxiety, and learning disabilities. The cause of ADHD is unknown, and multiple pathways may lead to the phenotypic expression of the disorder. 2 Public awareness of ADHD has increased, and the disorder represents a public health concern with significant effects on children's functioning across multiple areas. 2 Referrals to health care professionals for children suspected of having the disorder continue at a high rate, and changes in the health care system in the United States have placed increasing demands on primary care pediatricians to diagnose and manage the disorder. It is now recognized that ADHD is a chronic condition that will persist over the life span. 2 The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Quality Improvement Subcommittee on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder synthesized a clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and evaluation of children with ADHD. 3 This report will highlight the empirical literature review on which this practice guideline is based. The subcommittee worked with Technical Resources International (TRI), Washington, DC, under the auspices of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, to develop an evidence base addressing questions regarding the prevalence, co-occurring conditions, and diagnostic ...

“…5 Our analysis pointed to the following risk factors for behavioral disorders in our study group: single-parent family, parent(s) with low education level, parent(s) with psychiatric disorders, residing in area known to have easy access to drugs and exposure to violence. These stressors can unleash disruptive behaviors and together can aggravate social maladaptation and emotionality, leading to greater difficulties in self-organization and impulse control, and thus to aggressiveness and violent behavior.…”

“…4 A home environment characterized by marital separation and/or family adversity can also fuel ODD or CD in children with ADHD, leading them to engage in delinquent behaviors. 5 In addition, hyperactivity and impulsiveness are predictors of substance abuse disorder (SAD). Even a single symptom of conduct disorder (CD) in individuals with ADHD is associated with increased risk of SAD.…”

Conflict of interest: noneObjective: to determine the incidence and associations of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder (CD), and substance abuse disorder (SAD) in adolescents in conflict with the law in a Brazilian cohort. Methods: the Brazilian version of the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged-Children (K-SADS-PL) was administered to 69 adolescent boys who were incarcerated for 45 days in the city of Curitiba, Brazil. Results: mean age was 15.5 years (range, 12-16.9 years) and most adolescents originated from disadvantaged social classes (87%). They resided in neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city or towns in the greater metropolitan area. Truancy and low educational achievement were common, with 73.9% not currently attending school and 43.4% not having finished the 5 th grade. The great majority lived in single-parent families and many had relatives who themselves had problems with the law. Psychiatric disorders were apparent in 81.1% of the subjects, with the most common disorders being CD (59.4%), SAD (53.6%), and ADHD (43.5%). Both ADHD (p <0.001) and CD (p <0.01) had significant associations with substance abuse. Conclusion: in male adolescents in conflict with the law, ADHD, CD, and SAD were all found to be associated with delinquency.
