The risk of alcohol use disorders in young adults with hyperactivity/inattention problems in early adolescence: UK birth cohort study
Hyperactivity/ inattention problems in early adolescence were associated with an increased risk of AUDs in adulthood. Unmeasured confounders were unlikely to alter the observed associations. Early identification and intervention for behavioural problems may help reduce the risk of AUDs later in life.
