Mindfulness for College Students with ADHD
This study is looking at an adapted mindfulness program called Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs) for ADHD in first-year college students. It aims to see if this 8-week group program is practical, well-received, and helpful for students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). You might be able to join if you are a first-semester college student with ADHD, aged 17-25, and don't have certain other health conditions like severe depression or ongoing substance abuse. Researchers will compare the MAPs program to standard university support services. They will measure changes in ADHD symptoms, concentration, depression, anxiety, and stress up to six months after treatment to see how well the program works. The study plans to enroll 100 participants.
