Background: The dopamine receptor D4 ("DRD4") 7-repeat allele and maternal smoking during pregnancy are both considered as risk factors in the aetiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but few studies have been conducted on their interactive effects in causing ADHD. The purpose of this study is to examine the gene by…

Price, Myeshia N.; Hyde, Janet Shibley – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2009
This study explored factors that may be associated with early initiation of sexual activity among adolescents. Using the cumulative risk model, we hypothesized that as exposure to risk factors increases, so does the likelihood of early sexual debut. A sample of 273 (53% girls, 90% European American) adolescents was followed longitudinally from age…

We evaluated 173 children (88 males, 85 females; mean age 11.7y [SD 1.8]; range 9-14y) who had epilepsy (generalized 36%, partial 61%) for at least 6 months. The primary caregiver completed a dimensional measure, the Child Behavior…

Peer reviewedLindsey, Jimmy D. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
Results indicated that learning disabled (LD) children performed less well than non-LD children on tasks requiring internal strategies or plans. With one exception, hyperactive and nonhyperactive LD children performed similarly. Across groups, children with more behavioral problems also were children who used less mature cognitive strategies.…

It was found that brain damaged children were more active in structured situations and more distractibile than control group children. These findings pointed to a deficiency in control mechanisms. The correlational data suggested the manner in which these deficiences operate. Sex differences were also discussed. (Author/CG)

Approximately 300 children in seven elementary schools used the Feingold diet for two weeks. Of the total sample, 8.5% improved by five points or more. The mean before diet scores of improved Ss were below the cut off value for hyperactivity, indicating hyperactivity itself is not a necessary condition for improvement. (Author)
