Abstract
Infants with persistent crying (PC) in the first 6 months (mean age 3.8 months) were reassessed at 8 to 10 years of age and compared with 64 classroom controls for hyperactivity, conduct problems and academic difficulties in a prospective study at the University of Hertfordshire, UK.
Highlights
The influence of adolescent attention functioning on the development of substance abuse was studied in 66 high-risk youths over an 8-year period at the University of California San Diego Department of Psychiatry
Substance involvement was assessed by self-report, resource person reports, and randomly sampled toxicology screens at interviews at ages 15 through 23
Education, conduct disorder, family history of substance use disorders, and learning disabilities did not influence the relationship between attention functioning and substance involvement
