目的：研究患有注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)和其他学习和/或行为问题的个体的学习成绩(16岁期末成绩)。方法：在591名10-11岁的儿童中，有可能获得536名16岁儿童(9年级)的期末成绩。结果：ADHD组和BLP组在16岁时的总均分显著低于对照组。此外，ADHD组和BLP组也有资格在高中继续学习，但程度明显低于对照组(分别为72%、68%和92%)。所有智商测验(1011岁时)与9年级以后的整体成绩呈正相关，其中与言语能力的相关性特别强。结论：ADHD及类似问题存在在校表现不佳的风险。研究结果表明，ADHD儿童在学校情境中的成绩不佳与他们的最佳认知能力有关。应考虑具体情况和特殊要求，以便采取适当的教育措施。
Aim: To study academic performance (final grades at the age of 16 years) in individuals with i) attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and ii) other learning and/or behavioural problems.Methods: Of a total population of 591 children, originally assessed at the age of 10-11 years, it was possible to obtain final grades for 536 16-year-olds (in grade 9). Those fulfilling the criteria for ADHD/sub-threshold ADHD (n = 39) and those with 'Behaviour and Learning Problems' (BLP group), (n = 80) and a comparison group (n = 417) were contrasted.Results: The ADHD and BLP groups had a significantly lower total mean grade at the age of 16 years than the comparison group. In addition, the ADHD and BLP groups also qualified for further studies in the upper secondary school to a significantly lesser extent than the controls (72%, 68% and 92%, respectively). All IQ measures (at the age of 1011 years) were positively correlated with the overall grade after grade 9, with especially strong correlations for verbal capacity.Conclusion: ADHD and similar problems entail a risk of underachievement at school. The results indicate that pupils with ADHD underachieve in the school situation in relation to their optimal cognitive capacity. The contextual situation and the particular requirements should be considered in order for adequate educational measures to be undertaken.
