To examine the relationship between ADHD medications, study habits, and academic achievement of ADHD-diagnosed undergraduates.
A total of 92 students with a self-reported ADHD diagnosis and a current prescription for ADHD medication were compared with 143 control students in a survey of academic performance.
Most ADHD students took stimulant medication and said the drugs helped them, yet believed they were worse than other students at planning and completing assignments and avoiding distractions. Although most study habits of ADHD students did not differ from controls, their high school and college GPA (grade point average), and ACT scores were significantly lower, and they withdrew from significantly more classes than did control students. Interestingly, preliminary data suggested that good study habits alone, even without stimulants, could overcome the achievement disparity of ADHD students.
As previously shown for children and adolescents, stimulant medications alone did not eliminate the academic achievement deficit of ADHD undergraduates.
研究 ADHD 药物、学习习惯与 ADHD 诊断的本科生学业成绩之间的关系。
在一项对学习成绩的调查中，共比较了 92 名自我报告 ADHD 诊断且目前有 ADHD 药物处方的学生与 143 名对照学生。
大多数 ADHD 学生服用兴奋剂药物，并表示药物对他们有帮助，但他们认为自己在计划和完成作业以及避免分心方面比其他学生差。尽管 ADHD 学生的大多数学习习惯与对照组没有差异，但他们的高中和大学 GPA（绩点）和 ACT 分数明显较低，而且比对照组学生退课更多。有趣的是，初步数据表明，即使没有兴奋剂，良好的学习习惯本身也可以克服 ADHD 学生的成绩差距。
正如先前对儿童和青少年的研究表明的那样，兴奋剂药物本身并不能消除 ADHD 本科生的学业成绩不足。
