Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature examining the relation between childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and substance abuse. A number of researchers have statistically controlled for conduct disorder (CD) when examining the ADHD-substance-abuse relation. These studies have generally found that the ADHD-substance-abuse relation disappears when the high overlap between ADHD and CD is taken into account. On this basis, one may conclude that ADHD is unimportant to substance abuse. However, there is some evidence from both empirical studies and related fields that ADHD and CD may interact to afford a higher risk for substance abuse than may either disorder alone. Thus, ADHD appears to be important to substance abuse in that it interacts with CD to increase the risk. This paper calls for more research that directly examines the joint effects of ADHD and CD on risk for substance abuse. There is also a need for more research that examines gender differences, and mechanisms of the relations among ADHD, CD, and substance abuse.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • SUD patients with comorbid ADHD often present with severe forms of SUD characterised by early onset, extended duration of SUD, greater impairment, and a shorter transition from substance use to dependence.

    “This is particularly important since SUD patients with comorbid ADHD often present with severe forms of SUD [209] characterised by early onset, extended duration of SUD, greater impairment and a shorter transition from substance use to dependence [172].”

  • Comorbid DBD may mediate the relation between ADHD and substance use outcomes.

    “For example, comorbid DBD may mediate the relation between ADHD and substance use outcomes (Flory and Lynam 2003; Lee et al. 2011).”

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.
