Long-term outcomes of females with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: increased risk for self-harm
Sinclaire M. O’Grady, Stephen P. Hinshaw
Abstract
Although long-term outcomes of girls with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder are understudied, high risk for adolescent and young-adult self-harm is salient. We present data on predictors and mediators of such risk, highlighting a recent dual-process model involving trait impulsivity plus family- and peer-related contributors. We conclude with recommendations for assessment and preventive intervention.
