Abstract
Children with ADHD are at increased risk for alcohol-related problems in adulthood (Lee et al, 2011). Research examining this risk in adolescence and young adulthood has described mediational pathways through ADHD symptom persistence, delinquency, and social and academic impairment (Molina et al, 2012; 2014), with stronger associations when parents are less well informed about their teen’s daily activities. Whether these processes extend into adulthood is unknown. This study tested whether young adult functioning and ADHD symptom persistence continued to mediate ADHD-related risk for problematic alcohol use at age 30 years and whether parenting in adolescence exerted lasting effects.
