This study examined the classification accuracy of the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS) in discriminating several attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) subtypes, including predominantly inattentive type (ADHD/I), combined type (ADHD/C), and combined type with behavioral problems (ADHD/ODD), between each other and a non-ADHD control group using logistic regression analyses. The sample consisted of 88 children ranging in age from 9.0 years to 12.8 years, with a mean of 10.9 years. Children were predominantly male (74%) and Caucasian (86%) and in grades 3-7. Results indicated that the UPPS performed well in classifying ADHD subtypes relative to traditional diagnostic measures. In addition, analyses indicated that differences in symptoms between subtypes can be explained by specific pathways to impulsivity. Implications for the assessment of ADHD and conceptual issues are discussed.

The emotion dysregulation and impulsivity are highly associated with alcohol use disorder (AUD). This study explored the role of impulsivity and emotion dysregulation and the interaction with adult probable ADHD on alcohol-related quality of life (QoL). In this observational trial, we analyzed data from the randomized TRAIN study, which compared efficacy of two cognitive training programs in patients AUD recently detoxified at 5 centers in France from February 2019 to February 2023, and who completed child and adult ADHD screening data (WURS + ARSR, n = 206 of 226).

Article Synopsis
- This study explores how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) affect the risk of developing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adults undergoing residential treatment for Substance Use Disorder (SUD), suggesting a link between impulsivity and PTSD.
- The research involved 134 adults in treatment, using questionnaires to measure their levels of ACEs, PTSD symptoms, and impulsivity, ultimately finding that two-thirds of participants showed potential PTSD symptoms.
- Among various impulsivity traits examined, lack of premeditation specifically partially mediated the connection between ACEs and PTSD symptoms, highlighting its importance in understanding PTSD development in the context of SUD.
