Due to the need to increase understanding of factors associated with medication usage for youth with ADHD, this study examined parental explanatory etiologies in relationship to psychotropic medication use in a sample of youth who met criteria for ADHD and utilized outpatient specialty mental health services in the previous year. When examined cross-sectionally, medication usage was positively associated with parental explanatory etiologies related to physical causes and negatively associated with those involving sociological causes. Longitudinal analyses did not show a significant effect of Time 1 parental explanatory etiologies on the slope of medication use, suggesting that the relationship between Time 1 parental explanatory etiologies and medication usage remains stable over time for those who have had past year involvement with outpatient specialty mental health services.
由于需要增进对多动症青少年药物使用相关因素的理解,本研究调查了符合多动症标准且在上一年使用门诊专科心理健康服务的青少年样本中,父母对用药的解释病因。横断面研究发现,药物使用与父母关于身体原因的解释病因呈正相关,与涉及社会原因的解释病因呈负相关。纵向分析未显示时间1的父母解释病因对用药斜率有显著影响,这表明对于那些过去一年参与门诊专科心理健康服务的人来说,时间1的父母解释病因与药物使用之间的关系随时间保持稳定。
