The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of childhood history of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a sample of prison inmates. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, which consisted of a sample of 100 inmates from penitentiary centers in Madrid. The instruments used were the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS), the International Personality Disorder Examination, and a questionnaire of demographic, penitentiary, and toxicological data. For statistical analysis, the SPSS program was used with confidence interval estimation of 95%. The mean score of the WURS was 65.7 points. Fifty percent of the sample surpassed the cut-off point of 32 for the 25 best discriminative items in the Spanish validated version. A significant association was found between a childhood history of ADHD and antisocial and borderline personality disorders. The disorder was also found to be associated with autoaggressive behavior, more probability to be sanctioned in prison, and have a history of substance dependence.
本研究的目的是确定监狱服刑人员样本中儿童期注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）病史的患病率。这是一项描述性横断面研究，样本包括来自马德里监狱中心的100名服刑人员。所使用的工具包括温德尔犹他评定量表（WURS）、国际人格障碍检查表以及一份关于人口统计学、监狱情况和毒理学数据的问卷。统计分析使用SPSS程序，置信区间估计为95%。WURS的平均得分为65.7分。在西班牙验证版中，50%的样本在25个最佳判别项目上超过了32分的临界点。研究发现，儿童期ADHD病史与反社会和边缘型人格障碍之间存在显著关联。该障碍还与自我攻击行为、在监狱中更有可能受到制裁以及有药物依赖史有关。
