Abstract

Objectives: It is well known that the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not confined to the children and adolescents and considerable portion of the general ADULT population may be affected by ADHD. On the other hand, the impact of ADHD on driving performance, a major area of ADULT life has gained enthusiasm. More recent studies revealed an association between ADULT ADHD and negative driving outcome. This study was performed to determine the association between ADULT ADHD and trauma after TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. Method: In this case-control study, 140 subjects were evaluated in two groups including 70 drivers injured from TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS and 70 age- and sex-matched non traumatic controls in a 13-month period. Subjects with psychiatric comorbidities were excluded. The Conners’ ADULT ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS) self-report (screening version) was used for screening ADULT ADHD in both groups. Results: Sixty nine males and 1 female were recruited in each group with a mean age of 29.31±9.32 (18-61) years in the case group and 29.03±9.07 (18-60) years in the controls (P > 0.05). Previous history of traffic accident was significantly higher in the case group (15.7% vs. 4.3%, P>0.05). The mean driving time in a day was also significantly higher in the case group. In the case group, the scores of CAARS: the ADHD index, ADHD symptoms total, inattentive subscale and hyperactive/ impulsive subscale were positive (higher than 70) in 4.3, 10, 7.1 and 10 percent of patients, respectively. In the controls the corresponding rates were 4.3, 14.3, 8.6 and 8.6 percent respectively. The two groups were comparable for the mentioned rates (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The rate of ADULT ADHD is not significantly higher in drivers with TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS comparing with the matched normal population. So the screening programs may not make sense in this group.
