Parental ratings of preschoolers' risk for injury, direct assessment of preschoolers' behavior thought related to risk for injury (e.g., Inattention, impulsivity) and number of documented injuries were examined in preschoolers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and their non-ADHD peers (Control). Of preschoolers with ADHD, 58.3% exhibited behavior which placed them at-risk for physical injury (0% Control), and their performance was significantly poorer on clinic-based tests. Nonetheless, preschoolers with ADHD did not actually sustain significantly more injuries which warranted medical treatment in an emergency department. Although preschoolers with ADHD may be at increased risk for minor injuries, further research is needed to determine whether they more frequently sustain more serious injuries.
研究人员对患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的学龄前儿童及其非ADHD同龄人（对照组）进行了调查，内容包括家长对学龄前儿童受伤风险的评分、对与受伤风险相关的学龄前儿童行为（如注意力不集中、冲动）的直接评估以及有记录的受伤次数。在患有ADHD的学龄前儿童中，58.3%表现出使其面临身体受伤风险的行为（对照组为0%），并且他们在基于诊所的测试中的表现明显更差。尽管如此，患有ADHD的学龄前儿童实际遭受的需要在急诊科进行医疗救治的严重受伤情况并没有显著更多。虽然患有ADHD的学龄前儿童可能面临更高的轻伤风险，但需要进一步研究以确定他们是否更频繁地遭受更严重的伤害。
