This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs)—an 8-week group-based mindfulness program originally developed for adults with ADHD—can work well for college students. The researchers will teach you mindfulness skills (like meditation and awareness techniques) in small group sessions at your university counseling center during your first semester of college. They want to see if this training helps reduce ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and depression, and improves your ability to manage emotions.
While mindfulness has strong evidence supporting its benefits for adults with ADHD, no one has yet studied whether this specific program works well for college students—a group facing unique challenges like transitioning to independent living while managing ADHD. This trial aims to fill that gap and provide college students with a non-medication option to manage their symptoms.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either the mindfulness program or standard university support services. If assigned to the mindfulness program, you'll attend a small group (about 10 students) meeting weekly for 8 weeks at your university counseling center, learning and practicing mindfulness techniques with a trained therapist. You'll complete assessments (questionnaires about your ADHD, mood, and focus) before the program starts, right after it ends, and again 6 months later to measure whether the training helped.
