Abstract

Although originally considered to be a disorder of childhood, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasingly being diagnosed for the first time in adulthood. Yet we know little about the social characteristics (race, gender, and social class) of those first labeled in adulthood, how these differ from those first labeled in childhood/adolescence, and whether the ADHD label is applied proportionately across social groups given ADHD symptomology. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, the current research considers how typifications of ADHD affect application of the ADHD label in childhood/adolescence and in adulthood. Results indicate that even after controlling for ADHD symptoms, social characteristics are important predictors of the ADHD label in childhood/adolescence but are less influential in predicting ADHD labeling in adulthood. Additionally, results indicate the importance of race in moderating the association between childhood ADHD symptoms and application of the ADHD label throughout the life course.
社会特征作为ADHD标签在整个生命过程中的预测因子
尽管最初被认为是儿童期的一种障碍,但注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)在成年后首次被诊断出来。然而,我们对成年后首次被贴上标签的人的社会特征(种族、性别和社会阶层)知之甚少,这些特征与儿童/青少年时期首次被贴标签的人有何不同,以及多动症标签是否在患有多动症症状的社会群体中按比例应用。利用国家青少年与成人健康纵向研究的数据,目前的研究考虑了多动症的典型化如何影响儿童/青少年和成年期多动症标签的应用。结果表明,即使在控制了多动症症状后,社会特征也是儿童/青少年多动症标签的重要预测因素,但对成年期多动症标签预测的影响较小。此外,研究结果表明,种族在调节儿童多动症症状和在整个生命过程中应用多动症标签之间的关联方面具有重要意义。
