The book provides a comprehensive summary of the best known and
most highly respected well-controlled long-term prospective
follow-up studies in ADHD. These studies followed children with
ADHD and matched controls into young adulthood (mean age 20-25
years) and middle-age (mean age 41 years). They explore a wide
variety of outcome areas, e.g. education, occupation, emotional and
psychiatric functioning, substance use and abuse, sexual behavior,
as well as legal problems. One chapter focuses particularly on the
outcome of girls with ADHD. Outcome areas explored are thus
comprehensive and clinically very relevant. The book also explores
the possible predictors of adult outcome. A whole chapter is
devoted to treatment (medication and psychosocial) as a predictor
of outcome. In addition to treatment, predictors explored include
characteristics of the child (e.g., IQ, severity of initial ADHD
symptoms, initial comorbidity characteristics of the family, e.g.,
socioeconomic status, single parenthood, parental pathology, and
family functioning. In a summary chapter, the impact and importance
of these various predictors in different outcome areas, e.g.
education, occupation, emotional/social functioning, antisocial
behavior, substance use and abuse and risky sexual and driving
behaviors are explored. In summary, the book provides a
comprehensive view of the prognosis, e.g., long-term outcome of
ADHD and key factors which can influence this outcome.
Professionals and the general public will thus get a clear view of
what can happen to children with ADHD as they proceed through
adolescence and adulthood and address important prognostic and
predictive factors in their treatment approaches to ensure better
long-term outcome in patients with ADHD.
