Substance use (SU) problems are more common among individuals with a history of ADHD. However, the reasons for this relationship are unclear. Our study will examine the extent to which this relationship is due to shared genetic influences using data collected during interviews about ADHD and SU in a large sample of young adult twins, their siblings and their parents. The results will aid in developing treatments targeting the symptoms of ADHD and SU concurrently.

物质使用(SU)问题在有ADHD病史的个人中更为常见。然而，这种关系的原因尚不清楚。我们的研究将使用在采访中收集的关于ADHD和SU的大样本年轻双胞胎、他们的兄弟姐妹和他们的父母的数据，来检验这种关系在多大程度上是由于共享的基因影响。这一结果将有助于开发同时针对ADHD和SU症状的治疗方法。
