My research examines childhood precursors of adolescent antisocial behavior (ASB) among separate samples of ADHD boys and girls. Unlike previous studies, key advantages here include: (a) rigorous diagnostic criteria for ADHD and comorbid conditions; (b) diverse predictors and outcomes; (c) sufficient ethnic and gender diversity; (d) a prospective design that enhances the specification of causal pathways. 177 boys (ages 6-12) participated in four separate naturalistic summer programs. Boys were observed during six-week camps with classroom and outdoor activities. About half of the boys had a diagnosis of ADHD and were actively treated with stimulants. The remaining boys served as normal comparisons. Observational data, including aggression and internalizing conditions were collected, as were peer sociometrics and academic achievement. Assessments were conducted prior to the camp and relevant measures were based on unmedicated periods. Five-years later, families were contacted for follow-up diagnostic interviews and questionnaires. Three samples have already been assessed and the final sample is currently being recruited. Similar summer programs were held for girls with and without ADHD (N=228); many fewer had medication histories. Four year follow-up visits will begin in Fall, 2001 and proceed annually until all three cohorts are assessed. The goal here is to (a) test childhood predictors of adolescent adjustment, with a focus on ASB and (b) test potential gender-specific predictions. Although possible cohort effects preclude precise comparisons, preliminary models will be constructed.

我的研究研究了ADHD男孩和女孩的单独样本中青少年反社会行为（ASB）的童年前体。与以前的研究不同，这里的主要优点包括：（a）严格的多动症和合并症诊断标准； （b）各种预测因素和结果； （c）足够的种族和性别多样性； （d）增强因果途径规范的前瞻性设计。 177名男孩（6-12岁）参加了四个独立的自然主义夏季计划。在六周的营地和户外活动中观察到男孩。大约一半的男孩诊断为多动症，并用兴奋剂进行了积极治疗。其余的男孩是正常的比较。观察数据，包括侵略和内在条件，以及同伴社会计量学和学术成就也是如此。在营地之前进行了评估，相关措施基于未经测验的时期。五年后，与家庭联系以进行后续诊断访谈和问卷调查。已经评估了三个样本，目前正在招募最终样本。为患有和没有多动症的女孩（n = 228）举办了类似的夏季计划；许多人拥有药物史。四年的随访访问将于2001年秋季开始，每年继续进行，直到评估所有三个队列。这里的目的是（a）测试青少年调整的儿童期预测指标，重点是ASB和（b）测试潜在的性别特定预测。尽管可能的队列效应排除了精确的比较，但将构建初步模型。
