Abstract

Introduction

The general data of this sample were presented in “ADHD symptomatic contamination in a Dual Pathology (I): General Analysis of the Sym_Con Sample”. We evaluated the presence of symptomatic contamination by ADHD in a SUD group compared with a group of non-consumers adults (parents of children treated in a CAP unit).

Objective and aims

Describe more specifically the peculiarities of the sample Sym_Con according to the type of substance consumption (Alcohol [n = 65], Cocaine [n = 48], Cannabis [n = 49] assessing the presence of ADHD symptomatic contamination.

Methods

We use differents Visual Analogical Scales plus the WURS, BDI, and Exploratory Lists of symptoms of ADHD.

Results

As can be seen in Fig. 1 and 2, the subgroup of Alcohol has a poorer “scalar” status with worse general state, more sadness and anxiety, being the subgroup of cocaine the most “suspicious”. The presence of ADHD-symptomatic contamination is more noticeable in the Cannabis subgroup.

Conclusions

ADHD symptomatic contamination in our Sym_Con sample is frequent, being the cannabis subgroup the more contaminated one. More studies that corroborate the results obtained in this sample are required.
