As usual, the research published in this issue of the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry contains impressive state‐of‐the‐science studies of child and adolescent psychopathology and related issues. Breeman and colleagues , for example, found that children born before 32 weeks gestation or with a very low birth weight (<1,500 g) were not only more frequently diagnosed with Attention‐Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) during childhood, but continued to have an increased risk for attention problems up through early adulthood.
