Adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
appear to have an increased risk of drug use disorders but the
evidence for an association with AUDs is mixed (Molina and
Pelham, 2003; Molina et al., 2007, 2012). Parental knowledge
may confer a protective effect in relation to alcohol use in adolescents
with ADHD (Walther et al., 2012).
