“…This discrepancy may be due to differences between college students and the general adult population and/or differences between ADHD self-identification and diagnosis [26]. It may also be due to changes to the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-5) that have resulted in increased ADHD reporting in recent years [27]. There is also evidence for late ADHD diagnosis that may contribute to these differences [28].…”

Introduction: A substantial proportion of college students experience challenges transitioning from pediatrics to the adult healthcare system. Combined internal medicine and pediatrics (Med-Peds) providers are frequently tasked with facilitating this transition and promoting the health and well-being of this population. There is an increasing proportion of college students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the U.S. This population experiences particularly pronounced challenges navigating the healthcare system and, as a result, often contends with fragmented healthcare. These issues are due to a range of factors, including lack of physician training, education, and resources, as well as a dearth of available research that can inform Med-Peds providers' efforts to support college students with ADHD.Methods: The current study compared a nationally representative sample of U.S. college freshmen with ADHD to those without ADHD on health, academic, and non-academic capacities. This study analyzed population-weighted data from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program's Freshman Survey.Results: Students with ADHD were more likely to report co-occurring conditions and feelings of depression and overwhelm. They were less likely to report emotional health that was above average or in the highest 10 th percentile. Although they reported lower overall academic aspirations, they were more likely to rate themselves in the highest 10th percentile on a range of non-academic capacities. Conclusion:The results from this study can inform efforts among Med-Peds providers seeking to promote the health and well-being of college students with ADHD.

“…Future studies should attempt to replicate our results using models controlling for these other known contributors to academic success outcomes. It should also be noted that our measure of ADHD symptomatology, the CAARS, was developed based on DSM-IV criteria for ADHD (Conners et al, 1999) and therefore does not take advantage of enhanced wording in the DSM-5 which is thought to better capture ADHD symptoms as presented by adults (Lefler et al, 2020). This limitation may partly explain our findings regarding the lack of an association between the hyperactivity-impulsivity dimension and academic success indicators.…”

Objective To improve on several methodological issues regarding current literature investigating the relationship between ADHD symptomatology and academic success in adults and examine the relative contributions of specific dimensions of ADHD symptomatology (i.e., inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity) to post-secondary academic success. Method A large sample of 3,688 post-secondary students were examined using a longitudinal design. The Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS) was used to assess adult ADHD symptoms and academic success was assessed using students’ official academic records (e.g., final GPAs and degree completion status). Results Students with greater inattention symptomatology at the start of their academic program showed consistently poorer long-term academic success (i.e., lower GPAs, higher dropout rates), regardless of gender. Conclusion Inattention symptoms are the primary driver of the relationship between ADHD symptomatology and academic underachievement in adults. Post-secondary education institutions should target and prioritize educational programming for inattention symptoms of ADHD in at-risk post-secondary students.

“…Therefore, more studies on screening and diagnosing ADHD in adults are needed. GENÇ et al, 2021;LEFLER et al, 2020). Isso é refletido pela estimativa de prevalência nas crianças (05 a 08%) ser maior do que nos adultos é menor, 2,5 a 4,4% (APA, 2016;SADOCK;SADOCK;RUIZ, 2017).…”
