In this interview conducted at the NYU Langone Child Study Center on Feb. 24, 2012, Rachel Klein, Ph.D., talks about a first-of-its-kind research study, which followed children diagnosed with ADHD into adulthood. First diagnosed in the 1970's at an average age of 8, the study undertook follow-ups at roughly ages 17, 25, and 41. While a majority of the children went on to successful adult lives, around 20 percent developed something called Anti-Social Personality Disorder, which is strongly associated with negative outcomes in adulthood, including substance abuse and criminality. Dr. Klein gives background on the study and discusses general findings. Dr. Klein is the Fascitelli Family Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the Director of the Anita Saltz Institute for Anxiety and Mood Disorders at the NYU Langone Child Study Center and Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, NYU Langone Medical Center.
