Summary:Parental and teacher ratings of adjustment on the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist and Teacher Rating Form were obtained on 39 subjects diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADDH), 31 subjects with ADDH plus learning disability (ADDH-LD), and 29 controls. Subjects were all males between the ages of 9 and 11 years and resided in Changsha, People's Republic of China. Significant group differences were found between the two clinical groups and the control group. Ratings by parents and teachers of the ADDH and ADDH-LD groups indicated more behavior problems and poorer social adjustment than controls. ADDH and ADDH-LD groups were not significantly different from one another except on ratings of school and learning problems.
