Summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, a
prodrug stimulant, on the behavioral, academic, and psychosocial functioning of college
students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Twenty-five college students
with ADHD from two universities (University of Rhode Island and Lehigh University) completed
a within-subject, placebo-controlled research trial. Dependent measures tapping behavioral,
psychosocial, and academic functioning were completed on a weekly basis across five
conditions (baseline, placebo, and 30-mg, 50-mg, and 70-mg lisdexamfetamine).
