This study compared adult women with childhood ADHD to adult women without childhood ADHD and to adult men with childhood ADHD. The participants, all from a larger longitudinal study, included 30 women and 30 men (approximately age 23 to 24) with childhood ADHD, and 27 women without ADHD. Women with childhood ADHD were matched to comparison women on age, ethnicity, and parental education, and to men with childhood ADHD on age, ethnicity, and IQ. Self- and parent-reports of internalizing, interpersonal, academic, and job impairment, as well as substance use and delinquency indicated group differences on measures of self-esteem, interpersonal and vocational functioning, as well as substance use. Follow-up planned comparison tests revealed that almost all of these differences emerged by diagnostic status, and not by gender. This study adds to research on the negative adult outcomes of ADHD and demonstrates that the outcomes of men and women with childhood ADHD are relatively similar.
本研究将患有儿童多动症的成年女性与未患儿童多动症的成年女性以及患有儿童多动症的成年男性进行了比较。所有参与者均来自一项规模更大的纵向研究，其中包括30名患有儿童多动症的女性和30名男性（年龄约为23至24岁），以及27名未患多动症的女性。患有儿童多动症的女性在年龄、种族和父母教育程度方面与作为对照的女性相匹配，在年龄、种族和智商方面与患有儿童多动症的男性相匹配。关于内化、人际、学业和工作损害以及物质使用和犯罪行为的自我报告和父母报告显示，在自尊、人际和职业功能以及物质使用方面存在组间差异。后续的计划比较测试表明，几乎所有这些差异都是由诊断状况而非性别导致的。这项研究补充了关于多动症成人负面后果的研究，并表明患有儿童多动症的男性和女性的后果相对相似。
