Etiological Complexity of Impulsive Behavior From Preschool to Adolescence for Boys Versus Girls: Neurodevelopmental Considerations
Speaker(s)
Theodore P. Beauchaine, PhD
Date
5.3.19Much is known about progression of ADHD early in life to more severe externalizing conduct across development for boys – less is known about developmental outcomes of early life impulsivity for girls. Beauchaine discusses emerging evidence that young girls with ADHD are especially vulnerable to non-suicidal self-injury and suicide attempts when they incur maltreatment. These findings argue for development of prevention programs targeting pre-adolescents, yet no empirically supported prevention programs exist.
