The present study evaluated the prevalence of past suicidal ideation (SI), plan, and attempt in college students with ADHD ( = 102) compared to a matched control ( = 102). Predictors of SI, plan, and attempts, were examined. Study participants were first year college students at a large Southeastern university who completed measures during August or September of 2014 or January of 2015. Measures were completed by first year students via an online survey. Prevalence rates for SI and related behaviors were higher among the ADHD group than the matched control, with suicide attempts rates four times higher in the ADHD group (13.7% vs. 2.9%). Results showed that ADHD predicted rates of SI and suicide attempt accounting for depression and key demographic variables. Findings have implications for suicide risk assessments conducted with college students with ADHD.
本研究评估了 ADHD 大学生（ = 102）与匹配对照组（ = 102）相比过去有过自杀意念（SI）、计划和尝试的患病率。检查了 SI、计划和尝试的预测因素。研究参与者是东南大学的一年级大学生，他们在 2014 年 8 月或 9 月或 2015 年 1 月期间完成了测试。一年级学生通过在线调查完成了测试。与匹配对照组相比，ADHD 组的 SI 和相关行为的发生率更高，ADHD 组的自杀企图率高出四倍（13.7%比 2.9%）。结果表明，ADHD 可以预测 SI 和自杀企图的发生率，这与抑郁和关键人口统计学变量有关。这些发现对与 ADHD 大学生进行的自杀风险评估具有重要意义。
