The relative predictive significance of attention deficit disorder (ADD) and aggressive behavior for consequent substance abuse was examined in 114 juvenile offenders. ADD, aggressivity, and substance abuse were assessed according to DSM-III criteria. Results from logistic regression indicate that aggressivity, but not an ADD diagnosis, significantly predicts substance abuse. Therefore, previously reported associations between ADD and substance abuse may be confounded by concurrent symptoms of aggression.
在114名青少年罪犯中，研究了注意力缺陷障碍（ADD）和攻击性行为对随后药物滥用的相对预测意义。根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版标准对ADD、攻击性和药物滥用进行评估。逻辑回归结果表明，攻击性而非ADD诊断能显著预测药物滥用。因此，先前报道的ADD与药物滥用之间的关联可能因同时存在的攻击症状而混淆。
