While forensic studies have reported higher than community rates of mental disorders in imprisoned populations, few studies have focused on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in these subjects. The aim of this study was to investigate ADHD prevalence among young French male prisoners. A specific diagnostic interview (Conners' Adult ADHD Diagnostic Interview for DSM-IV, CAADID) was used. Correlations between ADHD, subsyndromal ADHD, and criminal features were investigated. 11% of young male prisoners among 93 male subjects aged 18-35 years met the criteria for actual ADHD, and 17% met those for childhood ADHD. Considering ADHD and subsyndromal ADHD, prevalence was about 43% in adulthood. ADHD and subsyndromal ADHD in adulthood were significantly associated with a higher number of imprisonments and a younger age at first arrest. It could be advisable to better identify subjects with ADHD symptoms among prison populations.
虽然法医学研究报告称，被监禁人群中的精神障碍发病率高于普通人群，但很少有研究关注这些人群中的注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）。本研究的目的是调查法国年轻男性囚犯中ADHD的患病率。使用了一种特定的诊断访谈（《康纳斯成人ADHD诊断访谈（DSM-IV）》，CAADID）。研究了ADHD、亚综合征性ADHD与犯罪特征之间的相关性。在93名年龄在18至35岁的男性受试者中，11%的年轻男性囚犯符合实际ADHD的标准，17%符合儿童期ADHD的标准。考虑到ADHD和亚综合征性ADHD，成年期的患病率约为43%。成年期的ADHD和亚综合征性ADHD与更多的监禁次数和首次被捕时更年轻的年龄显著相关。最好在监狱人群中更好地识别出有ADHD症状的受试者。
