We explored this issue in youth with and without IAD referred to a third-level Department of Adolescent Psychiatry during a 12-month period. According to an IAT cutoff score of 50, 39 patients (38.6%) presented IAD. The IAD and the no IAD groups did not differ according to age and gender. Most of the IAD patients (92.3%) endorsed multiple addictions. The IAD group had higher scores in all the UADI dimensions, except for Impact of Life. All the IAD patients endorsed psychiatric diagnoses, but only Autism Spectrum Disorders were more represented in the IAD group. According to the CBCL, patients with IAD had more social problems and anxiety symptoms. However, clusters analysis with the t-scores of the CBCL scales of Internalizing and Externalizing domains showed no differences in IAT and UADI scores among clusters.
