Although childhood hyperactivity has been shown to be related to a variety of adult psychiatric disorders, no previous study has specifically explored its relation to adult opiate addiction. In this study, 22 per cent of a population of 157 opiate addicts seeking treatment reported childhood histories of hyperactivity. Demographic and developmental features such as high male to female sex ratio, normal intelligence quotient but lower level of educational and occupational achievement, and earlier arrest record supported the retrospective diagnosis. In addition, the subgroup with a history of childhood hyperactivity differed in symptom and personality measures from those without such a history in a way suggesting that those with a history of hyperactivity in childhood were manifesting adult sequelae of the disorder.
尽管儿童多动症已被证明与多种成人精神疾病有关，但之前尚无研究专门探讨其与成人阿片类药物成瘾的关系。在本研究中，157名寻求治疗的阿片类药物成瘾者中有22%报告有儿童多动症病史。高男女比例、正常智商但教育和职业成就水平较低以及较早的被捕记录等人口统计学和发育特征支持了这一回顾性诊断。此外，有儿童多动症病史的亚组在症状和人格测量方面与无此类病史的亚组不同，这表明童年有多动症病史的人正在表现出该疾病的成人后遗症。
