目的：研究注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的诊断、平均绩点(GPA)与合法和非法药物使用之间的关系。对象和方法：他们从南方一所大型公立大学的本科生中方便抽样获得调查数据。结果：在1550名受访者中，163人(10.5%)被诊断为ADHD(ADHD组)。在没有ADHD诊断的人中，591人(43%)报告非法使用处方兴奋剂(无ADHD，非法使用组)，794人(57%)报告没有非法使用处方药(无ADHD，无非法使用组)。ADHD组GPA显著低于其他两组。ADHD组和无ADHD，非法使用组报告的所有其他药物的使用量显著高于无ADHD，无非法使用组。结论：ADHD确诊的学生与非ADHD的学生相比，药物使用与GPA降低有关。
Objective: The authors studied the relationship between a diagnosis of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), grade point average (GPA), and licit and illicit drug use. Participants and Methods: They obtained survey data from a convenience sample of undergraduates in a large southern public university. Results: Among 1,550 respondents, 163 (10.5%) reported an ADHD diagnosis (ADHD Group). Of those without an ADHD diagnosis, 591 (43%) reported using prescription stimulants illicitly (No ADHD, Illicit Use group), and 794 (57%) reported not using prescription drugs illicitly (No ADHD, No Illicit Use group). The GPA of the ADHD group was significantly lower than the GPA of the other 2 groups. The ADHD group and the No ADHD, Illicit Use group reported significantly greater use of all other drugs than did the No ADHD, No Illicit Use group. Conclusions: Drug use was associated with a lower GPA in ADHD-diagnosed students than in students without ADHD.
