Abstract:The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sponsored a study to assess whether Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosed during childhood would be a risk factor for poorer driving performance during early adulthood. This Traffic Tech summarizes the findings of this study. Complete, updated, driving records were available for 113 severe ADHD young adults from the time they obtained their first license through age 25. The study shows that ADHD is a risk factor for poorer driving performance during early adulthood. Youth who displayed severe symptoms of ADHD as children were more likely than a comparison group to have been convicted of assorted moving and non-moving violations.
