The present study investigated to what degree medication with stimulants for children with ADHD will reduce comorbid complications in adulthood. Two groups (N=17 and N=74) were defined retrospectively using data from archives at the Expert team for ADHD for Middle and Northern Norway. The groups were compared on the "Index of Burden", an index constructed on the basis of data from five variables; Alcohol abuse, substance abuse, criminality, the Global Severity Index of SCL-90 and the "Functioning and quality of life" questionnaire. Results showed that treatment with stimulants in childhood/youth contribute to increased social and psychological functioning in adult age.
本研究调查了使用兴奋剂治疗多动症儿童在多大程度上会降低成年期的共病并发症。利用挪威中北部多动症专家团队档案中的数据，回顾性地定义了两组（分别为N = 17和N = 74）。根据五个变量的数据构建了“负担指数”，并对两组在该指数上进行了比较；这五个变量分别是酒精滥用、药物滥用、犯罪、SCL - 90的总体严重程度指数以及“功能与生活质量”问卷。结果表明，儿童/青少年时期使用兴奋剂治疗有助于提高成年后的社会和心理功能。
