Study summary

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasingly recognized to persist into adulthood, often impacting academic performance in university and professional education. This relationship may be further complicated by co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety.

The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to determine the prevalence of adult ADHD symptoms, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms among undergraduate medical students at Assiut University. The study also aims to evaluate how these psychiatric symptoms are associated with academic performance.

Participants will complete a series of self-administered questionnaires, including the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for depression, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale for anxiety, a socioeconomic status scale, and demographic/academic information including cumulative grade point average (GPA).

Groups and cohorts

  • Undergraduate Medical Students

    Undergraduate medical students aged 18 years or older enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, who complete self-administered questionnaires assessing adult ADHD symptoms (ASRS v1.1), depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), anxiety symptoms (GAD-7), socioeconomic status, and academic performance (cumulative GPA).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Screening Positive for Adult ADHD Symptoms

    Assessed using the 6-item Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) Arabic version. The scale evaluates the frequency of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms over the preceding 6 months. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale (never, rarely, sometimes, often, very often). A positive screen is defined by meeting the established clinical cutoff threshold (responses falling within shaded/clinically significant boxes), indicating a high likelihood of adult ADHD symptoms.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 3, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
