2.59 Neurocognitive Predictors of Treatment Response Among College Students With ADHD and Alcohol-Related Problems.

College students with ADHD are at elevated risk for alcohol-related problems and disorders, given symptoms of inattention and impulsivity, which characterize the disorder.

Across treatments, individual differences in inhibitory control and frustration tolerance predicted a reduction in substance use with treatment. [Extracted from the article]
