本文介绍了不同的研究结果关于兴奋剂药物的影响，随后的物质滥用和依赖。在美国，至少有4%到5%的儿童会被诊断患有ADHD;因此，在决定使用兴奋剂药物治疗症状时，父母被告知是很重要的。考虑到文献中的不一致之处，仍然难以确定兴奋剂药物对成年期药物滥用和依赖的真正影响。
This article describes the disparate research findings regarding the effects of stimulant medication in subsequent substance abuse and dependence. A minimum of 4 to 5% of children in the United States will be diagnosed with ADHD; thus it is important for parents to be informed when making decisions about the use of stimulant medication to treat symptoms. Considering the inconsistencies in the literature, it is still difficult to determine the true effects of stimulant medication on drug abuse and dependence in adulthood.
