ADHD and Comorbidity with Alcoholism

Abstract: A 15 page research paper that examines the findings of research pertaining to a connection between Attention-Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and comorbidity with alcoholism. A considerable body of research has indicated that ADHD, along with other contributing factors, can predispose children who have exhibited the behaviors associated with ADHD to alcoholism and other substance abuse later in life. But while researchers are certain that there is a tie between ADHD and comorbidity with alcoholism, there is still debate as to characteristics of this tie. This report examines available research. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
