Abstract

【Objective】 To explore the prevalence, different clinical subtype distribution and behavioral problems of delinquent junior with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) and to provide theoretical basis for early preventing delinquent junior. 【Methods】 Using Vanderbilt ADHD Parent Rating Scale, 41 cases of delinquent junior males with ADHD were diagnosed, namely delinquent junior group. 38 common adolescents males with ADHD who were diagnosed by Vanderbilt ADHD Rating Scale in the outpatient department were control group. 【Results】 The prevalence of ADHD in delinquent junior was obviously higher than common children. The main ADHD subtypes were predominantly hyperactivity-impulsive type and combine type in delinquent junior. This was different with common ADHD adolescents. There were 51.22% predominantly hyperactivity-impulsive type and 36.58% combine type in delinquent junior group. However, the control group had 39.47% predominantly inattentive type and 47.37% combine type. The delinquent junior with ADHD comobid externalizing disorders and co-existed externalizing disorders and internalizing disorders. Behavior problems distribution was not different in three clinical subtypes. But there was different in three clinical subtypes of common ADHD adolescents. 【Conclusions】 The prevalence of ADHD in delinquent junior is obviously higher than common adolescents. ADHD diagnosis and treatment should be differentiated individually. It has great significance on prognosis and outcome.
