“…To our knowledge, this has not been reported in other studies. Most studies have found no differences (August & Holmes, 1984;Koriath, Gualtieri, Van Bourgondien, Quade, & Werry, 1985;Loney & Milich, 1982;Stewart et al, 1981), but the majority of those so evaluated were younger children and the diagnosis was not based on self-report. However, using methodology similar to ours with adolescents, Forehand et al (1991) found significantly lower verbal IQs in their ADHDplus-CD group compared to the CD-alone group.…”

We examined adolescents with conduct disorder (CD) and substance problems to determine if those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptomatology had more severe delinquency and substance involvement. ADHD symptomatology was assessed in two ways: (1) by self-reports using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC) and (2) by use of DISC plus reports of others (parents, program staff, and program teacher). We divided boys into three ADHD groups based on DISC: those who met criteria, those who reported at least eight current symptoms, and those who reported fewer than eight symptoms. We also divided the same boys into two groups: those with reports of ADHD by two or more sources and those without this multisource ADHD. Examining these definitions of ADHD revealed that boys with either self- or multisource ADHD had more CD symptoms, earlier age of CD onset, more substance dependence diagnoses, and more comorbid depression and anxiety.

“…Estimates of comorbidity of specific learning disabilities with attention disorders have ranged from 10% (August & Holmes, 1984) to 55% (Elbert, 1993). Elbert found comorbidity to be approximately 45% to 55% and also noted that significant underachievement occurred in students identified as having attention disorders, particularly for members of the group identified as having hyperactivity.…”

“…Many children diagnosed as ADHD display symptoms of ODD and vice versa. Of equal concern is the overlap between ADHD and learning disabilities (LD) (August & Holmes, 1984). As many as one third of children with ADHD carry a secondary diagnosis of LD, and many more have long-standing learning deficiencies that are the cumulative result of years of marginal academic progress.…”

Attention‐Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder—Etiology, Diagnosis, and Management

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a developmentally disabling disorder of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that affects 3%-20% of school-aged children. It affects the child at home, at school, and with peers, and persists into adolescence and young adulthood. The author reviews the diagnostic criteria, etiological considerations, evaluation process, and management of this handicapping disorder. Included is a discussion of the most frequently used medications and suggestions for home and classroom management strategies that assist the child to behave and achieve success in school. It is pertinent to all nurses, since children with ADHD are in all settings and nurses are often asked questions about this controversial health care issue in both professional and personal arenas.
