本研究的目的是调查从公立学校招募的单字阅读能力较差且典型的青少年 (N = 188) 的行为和情绪问题的严重程度，并进行中位随访 2.4 年。对青少年和家长进行反复评估，以获得有关症状（抑郁、焦虑、躯体不适、攻击性、犯罪行为、注意力不集中）的严重程度和病程的信息，控制人口统计学变量和多动症的诊断。在对人口统计变量和多动症进行调整后，贫困读者的抑郁、特质焦虑和躯体抱怨水平高于典型读者，但在自我报告的犯罪或攻击行为方面没有差异。家长报告表明，两组之间的抑郁、焦虑或攻击性没有差异，但表明阅读能力较差的学生有更多的注意力不集中、身体不适和不良行为。学校和卫生专业人员应仔细评估阅读能力差的青少年的行为和情绪症状，并在有需要时提供服务。
The purpose of this study was to examine the severity of behavioral and emotional problems among adolescents with poor and typical single word reading ability (N = 188) recruited from public schools and followed for a median of 2.4 years. Youth and parents were repeatedly assessed to obtain information regarding the severity and course of symptoms (depression, anxiety, somatic complaints, aggression, delinquent behaviors, inattention), controlling for demographic variables and diagnosis of ADHD. After adjustment for demographic variables and ADHD, poor readers reported higher levels of depression, trait anxiety, and somatic complaints than typical readers, but there were no differences in reported self-reported delinquent or aggressive behaviors. Parent reports indicated no differences in depression, anxiety or aggression between the two groups but indicated more inattention, somatic complaints, and delinquent behaviors for the poor readers. School and health professionals should carefully assess youth with poor reading for behavioral and emotional symptoms and provide services when indicated.
