The risk of a substance use disorder (SUD) is three times greater for individuals with ADHD than it is for the general population. Due to this elevated risk, several decades of research have focused on ways to prevent problematic substance use for people with ADHD. Investigators have also been conducting different types of studies to understand whether stimulant use leads to — or protects against — substance use and SUD in adolescence and adulthood.
