Abstract

Objective: To assess whether prevalence of treatment for ADHD varies by location of mental healthcare among US college students aged 18 to 25 with professionally diagnosed ADHD. Method: Our analysis uses cross-sectional data from the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) and evaluated the relationship between types of care received and location of mental health services received in the past year (dichotomized into “use of any on-campus services” and “use of off-campus services only”). We generated unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models of each type of treatment. Results: Students who reported receiving mental healthcare on campus were less likely to receive any medication (aOR 0.66, 95% CI [0.60, 0.72]), any therapy (aOR 0.82, 95% CI [0.75, 0.89]), and any medication or therapy for ADHD (aOR 0.63, 95% CI [0.57, 0.70]). Conclusion: Future research should evaluate the causes of lower prevalence of ADHD treatment among students receiving mental healthcare from campus-based clinics.
