通过一系列临床实验对 22 名符合 DSM-III“残留型注意力缺陷障碍”(ADD-RT) 标准的成年人进行了评估。尽管某些性格和心理因素是 ADD-RT 组的典型特征，但哌醋甲酯的血液水平、生长激素对哌醋甲酯的反应以及脑干诱发反应并不能将受试者与匹配的对照组区分开来。男性受试者似乎比女性受试者更加同质。研究发现，社会经济地位和智商可以预测结果，但不能预测 ADD 症状的严重程度。成人注意力缺陷障碍患者的数量似乎很多，而且很容易识别，至少根据症状是这样。然而，ADD-RT 作为“独特的临床实体”的有效性仍有待商榷。
Twenty-two adults who met DSM-III criteria for “Attention Deficit Disorder, Residual Type”(ADD-RT) were evaluated in a series of clinical experiments. Although certain personality and psychological factors typified the ADD-RT group, methylphenidate blood levels, the growth hormone response to methylphenidate, and the brainstem evoked response did not distinguish subjects from matched controls. Male subjects seemed to be a more homogeneous group than female subjects. Socioeconomic status and IQ, but not severity of ADD symptoms, were found to predict outcome. ADD adults seem to be numerous and easy to identify, at least on the basis of symptoms. However, the validity of ADD-RT as a “distinct clinical entity” is open to question.
