Summary
This trial tests a mindfulness intervention to help college students with ADHD. If successful, it could have a large impact on public health.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for first-year college students aged 17-25 who have been diagnosed with ADHD. Participants should not have major medical issues or severe mental health conditions like depression, mania, substance abuse, personality disorders that could affect group participation, psychosis, recent trauma, or unstable psychotropic medication doses.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a mindfulness program adapted for ADHD against the usual services provided to these students. It aims to see if this approach is practical and helpful in managing ADHD symptoms among first-year college students.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves mindfulness practices rather than medication, side effects are minimal but may include temporary increases in emotional discomfort as individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Adapted Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs) for ADHD program, an 8-week, group-based mindfulness program for adults with ADHD, has been shown to reduce ADHD, depression, and anxiety symptoms. While promising, it is unknown as to whether the MAPs protocol is feasible, acceptable, and efficacious for college students with ADHD. The current study takes the first step towards enhanced study of mindfulness for college students with ADHD by testing the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an adapted MAPs protocol delivered within university counseling center settings during the first semester of college.
Group II: Services-As-UsualActive Control1 Intervention
Services-As-Usual includes the standard academic support services provided by university disability/accessibility offices.
