Global rates of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have risen. In Korea, ADHD is associated with functional impairments and comorbidity with other psychological disorders. This study examined the correlates of ADHD in a psychiatric sample of Korean adolescents on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent-Restructured Form (MMPI-A-RF). In a clinical sample of 247 adolescents, MMPI-A-RF scores from 46 patients diagnosed with ADHD were compared to the remainder of the clinical sample and to the Korean MMPI-A-RF norms. Results demonstrated significantly different scores for the ADHD group on scales indicating externalizing concerns and behavior dysfunction compared with the clinical group with other disorders and to a normative sample. Notable differences were also observed between clinical groups on scales reflecting interpersonal functioning. Relative risk ratio analyses demonstrated that an MMPI-A-RF T-score of 55 was generally most effective for predicting risk for an ADHD diagnosis in the clinical sample.
全球注意力缺陷多动障碍 (ADHD) 的发病率呈上升趋势。在韩国，ADHD 与功能障碍以及与其他心理障碍的共病有关。本研究使用明尼苏达多相人格测验-青少年修订版（MMPI-A-RF），对韩国青少年精神病学样本中的 ADHD 相关因素进行了研究。在 247 名青少年的临床样本中，将 46 名被诊断为 ADHD 的患者的 MMPI-A-RF 评分与临床样本中的其他疾病患者和韩国 MMPI-A-RF 常模进行了比较。结果表明，与具有其他疾病的临床组和常模组相比，ADHD 组在外显问题和行为功能障碍量表上的得分明显不同。在反映人际关系功能的量表上，临床组之间也存在显著差异。相对风险比分析表明，MMPI-A-RF T 分数为 55 通常最能有效预测临床样本中 ADHD 诊断的风险。
