The Psychiatric Status of the Legal Families of Adopted Hyperactive Children
Abstract
Interviews with the legal parents of 35 adopted hyperactive children are described, and psychiatric diagnoses are compared with previously reported groups of biologic and control parents. The high prevalence of hysteria, sociopathy, and alcoholism found in biologic parents of hyperactive children were not found in the adopting parents nor were the latter especially likely to have been hyperactive themselves. These data are consistent with genetic transmission of the syndrome; a polygenic mode is postulated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
