Journal of American College Health, v47 n4 p181-85 Jan 1999

Used a retrospective chart review to investigate psychological and academic impairments in college students not previously diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), comparing them with a control group. Results indicated that students with ADHD had significantly lower mean grade point average, more academic problems, and more academic probations. Measures of psychological impairment were not significantly different. (SM)
