Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and substance use disorders

Claudia M Szobot et al. Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2008 Apr.

Abstract

Attention deficit hperactivity disorder (ADHD) is highly prevalent among adolescents who have substance use disorder (SUD). Several lines of evidence, although not conclusive, suggest that ADHD might have an independent effect on SUD liability. It is still to be determined, however, whether this association is mediated by conduct disorder. This article reviews ADHD and SUD.
