180. Principle Component Analysis of A National Sample of Undergraduate Post-Secondary Students With Adhd Reveals Significant Well-Being And Quality of Life Concerns Unaddressed By Current Treatment

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is estimated to impact approximately ∼5% of college students and can profoundly affect this population due to increasing independence and self-responsibility. Historically, studies of this population have been limited in both sample size and scope, with research primarily focusing on the cognitive dimensions and drug use comorbiditie s of the disorder. Here, we use responses from a national dataset of college students in order to integrate multiple epidemiological and health behavior psychological factors to create a more comprehensive understanding of the health and well-being dimensions of the disorder.
