Relation
Disrupted Daily Life Functions
- The college environment increases risk for disrupted daily life routines in several domains for many students, particularly sleep, eating, exercise, medication adherence, and substance use. College students with ADHD are more prone to this type of dysregulation in daily life routines due to their unique developmental and psychosocial context.
- Supporting healthy daily life behavior is a key target of effective intervention with this population, including balanced sleep, balanced eating, balanced exercise, and medication adherence.
- College students with ADHD also show a higher risk for addictive behaviors and a greater vulnerability to impaired executive functions. A harm reduction approach including motivational interviewing and personalized normative feedback may be useful in addressing the substance use for the population.
