ADHD Grown-up: Genetic and environmental determinants of the adult outcomes of childhood ADHD and comorbid conditions

ADHD仍然是一个有争议的问题，尤其是在成年时期。有许多相关的行为问题，包括药物滥用、焦虑、抑郁和人格障碍。澳大利亚是双胞胎研究的焦点，多年来，许多双胞胎家庭参与了几项关于心理健康不同方面的研究。这笔赠款使我们能够将各种数据集联系起来，创建一个独特的纵向遗传资源，并检查长期结果。

ADHD remains a controversial issue especially in adulthood. There are many related behavioural problems including substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. Australia is such a focus for twin research that many twin families have taken part in several studies of different aspects of mental health over the years. This grant allows us to link the various datasets to create a unique longitudinal genetic resource and to examine the longterm outcomes.
