Objective

The aim of the present study was to evaluate relationship of impulsivity with severity of ADHD symptoms while controlling the effects of anxiety and depression in a sample of inpatients with alcohol use disorder.

Method

Participants included 190 inpatients with alcohol use disorder. Participants were evaluated with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Short Form Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11-SF) and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS).

Results

Impulsivity predicted both severity of ADHD symptoms and inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive dimensions, even after controlling the effects of depression and anxiety in linear regression models. Types of negative affect that predicted dimensions of ADHD differed; similar with severity of ADHD symptoms, depression and trait anxiety also predicted inattentive dimension, whereas trait and state anxiety predicted hyperactive/impulsive dimension.

Conclusion

Impulsivity is related with severity of ADHD symptoms and dimensions of ADHD although negative affect that is related with dimensions may differ.
