Abstract

A great deal of research has examined the etiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and ADHD symptomatologies. Genetic factors are consistently shown to explain a significant proportion of variance in measures of ADHD. The current study adds to this body of research by examining whether genetic liabilities for criminality and alcoholism have effects on the development of ADHD symptomatologies. Analyses based on a sample of adoptees drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) revealed that ADHD symptomatologies were elevated among adoptees who had biological mothers and fathers who had been arrested or who were alcoholics. These results suggest that part of the covariation between ADHD and antisocial behaviors may be the result of genetic factors that have general effects across a range of maladaptive outcomes.

The race variable was excluded from the equations using the total genetic risk scale score because of unstable parameter estimates stemming from (1) small sample sizes and (2) the lack of variation in race across the different categories on the ADHD scale. Including race in the equations did not affect the statistical significance of the genetic risk measures, but it did generate extremely large standard errors for the race variable. As a result, we opted to exclude this variable from the analyses where the total composite genetic risk scale was used.
