Seven percent (19 of 275) of children and adolescents not ascertained for seeking treatment received a DSM-III diagnosis of alcohol or drug use disorder. Their entire families were recruited into a research program designed to study the risk to offspring of parental psychopathology. The ages of those diagnosed were between 12 and 18 years. The drug and alcohol use disorders had a mean duration of 2 years, and the adolescents who remitted had a high likelihood of developing subsequent psychopathology. These adolescents also showed high rates of other psychiatric disorders. A high rate of alcoholism was found among their parents.
在未因寻求治疗而被确诊的儿童和青少年中，7%（275人中的19人）被诊断患有DSM-III定义的酒精或药物使用障碍。他们的整个家庭都被纳入了一个研究项目，该项目旨在研究父母精神病理学对后代的风险。被诊断者的年龄在12至18岁之间。药物和酒精使用障碍的平均持续时间为2年，缓解的青少年很有可能出现后续精神病理学问题。这些青少年还表现出其他精神障碍的高发病率。在他们的父母中发现了高酒精中毒率。
