这项研究比较了有和没有儿童注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的年轻人（18至26岁）自我报告的危险性行为。参与者是175名患有儿童ADHD的男性，在匹兹堡ADHD纵向研究（帕尔斯）中，I I I人口统计学上相似的男性没有ADHD。儿童多动症预测更早开始性活动和性交，更多的性伴侣，更随意的性行为，更多的合作伙伴怀孕。虽然儿童期行为问题确实对ADHD参与者的危险性行为有显著影响，但ADHD也有独立的贡献，这表明该疾病或其他相关特征的特征性缺陷可能是日后脆弱性的有用童年标记。
This study compared young adults (ages 18 to 26) with and without childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) on self-reported risky sexual behaviors. Participants were 175 men with childhood ADHD and I I I demographically similar men without ADHD in the Pittsburgh ADHD Longitudinal Study (PALS). Childhood ADHD predicted earlier initiation of sexual activity and intercourse, more sexual partners, more casual sex, and more partner pregnancies. Although childhood conduct problems did contribute significantly to risky sexual behaviors among participants with ADHD, there was also an independent contribution of ADHD, suggesting that the characteristic deficits of the disorder or other associated features may be useful childhood markers of later vulnerability.
