AIM
The Lifetime Impairment Survey assessed how ADHD impairs everyday life, identifying areas most affected.
METHODS
This opinion-based survey evaluated experiences, diagnosis and treatment of lifetime impairment in adults with (n=89) and without (n=94) ADHD. Groups were compared using impairment and symptoms scales; higher scores indicate greater impairment.
RESULTS
Mean (standard deviation) age at diagnosis was 18.2 (11.5) years; 47.1% were taking prescription medication for ADHD. Adults with ADHD reported greater impairments than those without for all scales (p<0.001) except the involvement scale.
CONCLUSION
Greater impairments in adults with than without ADHD suggest a continued impact throughout their daily lives.
目的
终身损害调查评估了注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）如何影响日常生活，确定了受影响最严重的领域。
方法
这项基于观点的调查评估了患有（n = 89）和未患有（n = 94）ADHD的成年人的终身损害经历、诊断和治疗情况。使用损害和症状量表对两组进行比较；分数越高表明损害越大。
结果
诊断时的平均（标准差）年龄为18.2（11.5）岁；47.1%的人正在服用治疗ADHD的处方药。除参与量表外，患有ADHD的成年人在所有量表上报告的损害均比未患ADHD的成年人更大（p<0.001）。
结论
患有ADHD的成年人比未患ADHD的成年人有更大的损害，这表明ADHD在他们的日常生活中持续产生影响。
