Hyperactivity in sons of alcoholics. 1985

R E Tarter, and A M Hegedus, and J S Gavaler

In a group of delinquent adolescent boys, the sons of alcoholic fathers (N = 16) did not differ from the sons of nonalcoholic fathers (N = 25) on either the number or pattern of features characterizing hyperactivity-minimal brain dysfunction. The findings suggest that childhood hyperactivity cis not a risk factor specific to alcoholism.
