The objective of this study was to compare the social functioning of children with the Combined (CB) and Predominantly Inattentive (PI) subtypes of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), controlling for comorbidity and medication-status, which may have confounded the results of previous research.
Parents and teachers of rigorously diagnosed unmedicated children with PI or CB subtypes of ADHD, and typical comparison children, rated them on the multidimensional Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS).
After co-varying for oppositionality and anxiety, social impairment was substantial and equivalent in both ADHD groups whether rated by parent or teacher. In addition, when rated by teacher, the nature of the deficits varied by subtype: Children with PI were impaired in assertiveness, whereas children with CB were deficient in self-control. These findings indicate that AD/HD subtypes differ in the nature of their social dysfunction independent of comorbidity and highlight the need for interventions to target their divergent needs.
本研究的目的是比较患有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)联合型(CB)和主要注意力不集中型(PI)的儿童的社会功能,同时控制可能混淆以往研究结果的共病情况和用药状态。
对严格诊断为未用药的PI或CB亚型ADHD儿童以及典型对照儿童的家长和教师,使用多维社会技能评定量表(SSRS)对他们进行评定。
在对对立性和焦虑进行协变量调整后,无论是家长还是教师评定,两个ADHD组的社会功能损害都很严重且相当。此外,教师评定时,缺陷的性质因亚型而异:PI型儿童在 assertiveness方面存在缺陷,而CB型儿童在自我控制方面存在缺陷。这些发现表明,AD/HD亚型的社会功能障碍性质不同,与共病无关,并强调需要针对其不同需求进行干预。
