This study examined several questions about the diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in young adults using data from a childhood-diagnosed sample 200 individuals with ADHD (age M = 20.20 years) and 121 demographically similar non-ADHD controls (total N 321).
Numerous studies have asserted the prevalence of marital conflict among families children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but evidence is surprisingly less convincing regarding whether parents youths ADHD are more at risk for divorce than without ADHD. Using survival analyses, authors compared rate dissolution between adolescents and young adults Results indicated that diagnosed in childhood (n = 282) were likely to had a shorter latency 206). Among subset those ADHD,...
Behavioral parent training is an efficacious treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, single-mother households are at high risk poor outcomes during and following behavioral training. This study randomly assigned cohorts of 120 single mothers children (ages 5–12 years) with ADHD to a waitlist control group, traditional program, or enhanced program—the Strategies Enhance Positive Parenting (STEPP) program. Intent-to-treat analysis demonstrated benefits...
Currently behavior modification, stimulant medication, and combined treatments are supported as evidence-based interventions for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in classroom settings. However, there has been little study of the relative effects these two modalities their combination classrooms. Using a within-subject design, present investigated single modification (no, low, high intensity), methylphenidate (placebo, 0.15, 0.30, 0.60 mg/kg), an analogue setting with 48 children...
Stimulant medication and behavioral treatments are evidence-based for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, but the combination of 2 has been understudied. In this investigation, methylphenidate (MPH) was crossed levels behavior modification (BMOD) in a summer treatment program. Twenty-seven aged 6-12, participated. Children received placebo 3 doses transdermal MPH (12.5 cm(2), 25.0 37.5 cm(2)). BMOD implemented on alternating weeks. Both produced large significant effects....
Objective: To characterize the late adolescent and young adult outcomes of girls diagnosed with ADHD in childhood. Method: The study included 58 women from a larger longitudinal ADHD. A total 34 ( M = 19.97 years old) met DSM criteria for childhood, whereas remaining 24 19.83 did not. Self- parent-reports psychopathology, delinquency, interpersonal relationships, academic achievement, job performance, substance use were collected. Results: findings suggest that experience difficulties...
Objective: Despite frequent theorizing, prior literature on the association between depressive symptoms and alcohol use in adolescence has been inconsistent. Yet studies have varied widely with respect to age at assessments, time frame of prediction, controls for comorbid conditions demographic factors. The current study examined whether associations were similar valence magnitude over a 4-year period early adolescence. Method: A sample 521 young adolescents their parents interviewed every...
Objective: Research has clearly documented the social dysfunction of youth with ADHD. However, little is known about interpersonal relationships adults diagnosed ADHD in childhood, including rates intimate partner violence (IPV). Method: Using data from Pittsburgh Longitudinal Study, analyses compared level IPV (verbal aggression, violence) reported by young adult (18- to 25-year-old) males childhood ( n = 125) reports demographically similar without histories 88). Results: Males ADHD,...
Several domains of parenting have been identified as important for adolescent well-being. Whether these same are equally beneficial adolescents with ADHD histories remains an empirical and clinically question. This study examined whether parental knowledge their teen's activities whereabouts, consistency, support, parent-adolescent conflict associated substance use delinquency similarly without a diagnosis in childhood. A sample 242 adolescents, 142 diagnosed childhood prospectively followed...
Preliminary evidence underscores links between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration victimization. However, little is known about whether ADHD are uniquely associated with IPV victimization beyond well-established risk factors of commonly the disorder. In a cross-sectional design, 433 college students rated their as well frequencies psychological physical Additional included childhood maltreatment, primary psychopathy,...
A study conducted in an analogue summer treatment setting showed that when concurrently receiving behavioral intervention, many children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) did not need medication or maximized responsiveness at very low doses. The present followed participants into the subsequent school year to investigate whether same pattern would extend natural and home settings. There were 127 unmedicated ADHD between ages of 5 13 who randomly assigned receive...
Evidence is scarce regarding the prevalence of interparental discord in families adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Using data collected from childhood ADHD and comorbid oppositional defiant (ODD; n = 46) or conduct (CD; 23), only ( 26), without 88) their mothers, maternal adolescent reports were compared. Adolescents + CD reported witnessing more frequent unresolved conflict than only. also indicated ODD. However, differences resolution nonsignificant when...

Results: Results indicated that effective reducing problematic child behavior improving parental stress psychopathology...
Numerous studies indicate interparental conflict causes child externalizing behavior. However, far less is known about the inverse relationship. Exploring this gap in literature has clear implications for parents of children with disorders (e.g., attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD]). Adapting an experimental behavior manipulation paradigm (Lang, Pelham, Atkeson, & Murphy, 1999; Pelham et al., 1997, 1998), parent couples 9- to 12-year-old boys and girls ADHD (n = 51) without 39)...
