Abstract

Abstract

Introduction

Little is known about the effect of parental attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) dimensions on the development of disruptive behavioral disorders (DBD) in children with ADHD.

Objectives

To study the association of parental ADHD on the DBD symptoms in children with ADHD.

Methods

The sample consisted of 542 treatment naïve children with ADHD aged 6-17 years. All children had to be living with both biological mothers and fathers. The severity of ADHD and comorbid DBD were assessed via parent and teacher rated Turgay DSM-IV-Based Child and Adolescent Behavioral Disorders Screening and Rating Scale. Current ADHD severity of mothers and fathers were evaluated by a self-report inventory. The association between parental ADHD and DBD was evaluated with two separate structural equation models.

Results

Relationships of parent ADHD and DBD symptoms were presented in Figures 1 and 2.

Discussion

These results suggest maternal hyperactivity may be a vulnerability factor for the development of conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder in children with ADHD.
