Self-Reported ADHD and Adjustment in College: Cross-sectional and Longitudinal FindingsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Students with ADHD struggled relative to peers but most were adjusting reasonably well across multiple domains. Future research should move beyond the use of self-reported diagnosis and more carefully examine the impact of medication treatment in this population. (J. of Att.

Motives and Perceived Consequences of Nonmedical ADHD Medication Use by College Students: Are Students Treating Themselves for Attention Problems?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Students without prescriptions use ADHD medication primarily to enhance academic performance and may do so to ameliorate attention problems that they experience as undermining their academic success. The academic, social, and biomedical consequences of illicit ADHD medication use among college students should be researched further. (J. of Att.

College Students With ADHD: Current Status and Future DirectionsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Approximately 2 to 8% of the college population reports clinically significant levels of ADHD symptomatology and at least 25% of college students with disabilities are diagnosed with ADHD. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted with findings consistently indicating academic deficits associated with ADHD in college students. It is less clear whether this disorder significantly impacts social, psychological, and neuropsychological functioning. Although several self- and parent-report measures have been developed for this population, very few studies of assessment methods have been conducted. Similarly, no con...

Conclusions: Concerns are raised about how ADHD and PTSD symptoms in a child are to be interpreted. Some overlapping exists between the two syndromes, but further studies should determine whether true comorbidity exists between ADHD and PTSD symptoms to better understand how to correctly diagnose and treat refugee children with TP.

The Misuse and Diversion of Prescribed ADHD Medications by College StudentsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Although most students use their ADHD medication as prescribed, misuse and diversion is not uncommon. Because enhancing academic performance was the primary motive for misuse, the results raise questions about whether undergraduates with ADHD perceive their treatment as adequate and the extent to which physicians and students communicate about issues related to medication adjustments.

The Impact of Childhood ADHD on Dropping Out of High School in Urban Adolescents/ Young AdultsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Selected cognitive and psychosocial factors appear independently associated with the likelihood of high school dropout irrespective of ADHD. Notably, childhood ADHD did not increase this risk, suggesting that previous reports of increased dropout because of ADHD may become negated in urban areas when matched with similar community controls.

Conclusion: The results of our study reveal a high phenotypical overlap between ASD and ADHD. The two identified subtypes, inattentive-stereotyped and hyperactive-communication impaired, reflect the DSM classification and may theoretically be a sign of two different neurochemical pathways, a dopaminergic and a serotonergic.

Inattentive Symptoms of ADHD Are Related to Evening OrientationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Inattention is more strongly related to eveningness than is Impulsivity—Hyperactivity, and therefore eveningness may constitute an endophenotype of the predominantly inattentive subtype of ADHD. These findings need to be replicated in a patient population with a standardized assessment of sleep quality. (Source: Journal of Attention Disorders)

The objective of this study was to compare the social functioning of children with the Combined (CB) and Predominantly Inattentive (PI) subtypes of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), controlling for comorbidity and medication-status, which may have confounded the results of previous research. Method: Parents and teachers of rigorously diagnosed unmedicated children with PI or CB subtypes of ADHD, and typical comparison children, rated them on the multidimensional Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS). Results: After co-varying for oppositionality and anxiety, social impairment was substantial and equivalent in bo...

Changes in Caregiver Strain Over Time in Young Adolescents With ADHD: The Role of Oppositional and Delinquent BehaviorEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Oppositional, delinquent behavior was the best predictor of caregiver strain and suggests that preventing and treating these child behavior problems should be a high priority when working with young adolescents with ADHD. Given the variability in parent responses to changes in oppositional and delinquent behavior, it may also be important to address personal coping strategies for parents of youth exhibiting high rates of these behaviors.
