Abstract
ADHD stimulant misuse is thought to represent a form of self-treatment for undiagnosed ADHD. This survey study uses path analysis to determine the predictive value ADHD symptomatology has on frequency of stimulant misuse both directly and indirectly through two mediator variables. ADHD symptom severity did significantly predict stimulant misuse frequency.
