目的：本研究的目的是探讨当前的积极注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的症状，药物治疗和物质使用模式之间的关系among college students.Method：三百三十四名学生在当地一所大学进行了调查，目前的ADHD症状和精神药物治疗。这项调查是结合每年一次的全国性调查，探讨学生对他们的物质使用模式和attitudes.Results：参与者与ADHD的药物治疗确定了ADHD有更大的过去一年的烟草和大麻的使用。在患有ADHD的人中，与没有活动性ADHD症状的人相比，患有活动性ADHD症状的参与者更有可能在过去一年中使用烟草和其他药物（除了烟草，酒精和大麻）。此外，与没有活动性ADHD症状的参与者相比，有活动性ADHD症状的参与者更有可能在过去一个月内使用“其他”药物。在这些处方药的ADHD，25%的报告曾经使用他们的药物，以“'获得高”，几乎29%的报告曾经给予或出售他们的药物给别人.Conclusions：我们的初步研究结果表明，ADHD症状控制可能是重要的，以防止增加风险的物质使用（特别是烟草和药物以外的酒精和大麻）与ADHD的大学生。需要对大学生滥用/转移处方兴奋剂药物进行进一步研究。
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between current active attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, medication treatment, and substance use patterns among college students.Method: Three hundred and thirty-four students at a local college were surveyed for current ADHD symptoms and psychopharmacological treatment. The survey was conducted in conjunction with an annual national survey that probes students about their substance use patterns and attitudes.Results: Participants with ADHD as ascertained by medication treatment of ADHD had greater past-year tobacco and marijuana use. Among those with ADHD, participants with active ADHD symptoms were more likely to have past-year tobacco and other drug (besides tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana) use as compared to those without active ADHD symptoms. In addition, participants with active ADHD symptoms were more likely to have past-month "other" drug use as compared to those without active ADHD symptoms. Among those prescribed medications for ADHD, 25% reported ever using their medication to "'get high" and almost 29% reported ever giving or selling their medication to someone else.Conclusions: Results of our preliminary study indicated that ADHD symptom control may be important to protect against increased risk of substance use (particularly tobacco and drugs other than alcohol and marijuana) among college-age students with ADHD. Further studies of misuse/diversion of prescription stimulant medication among college students are needed.
