AB Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and associated comorbidities are known to be risk factors for substance abuse in adolescence and young adulthood, but few studies have examined the early childhood risk factors that may predispose to this behavior. In a 10-year follow-up of children with ADHD, the occurrence of substance use disorder was increased compared with controls, especially among ADHD youth with early conduct disorder.
