Professor perceptions of college students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
OBJECTIVE
From April to June 2005, the authors investigated professor perceptions of college students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).


METHODS
253 participants completed the ADHD Beliefs Survey-Revised, a 40-question survey measuring professor perceptions of ADHD.


METHODS
Analysis of variance measured false and reasonable beliefs related to ADHD.


RESULTS
Results indicated that professors with differing levels of education, years of teaching experience, colleges in the university or community college, previous experiences with a student with ADHD, and ADHD training did not differ significantly in perceptions regarding general ADHD knowledge or college students with ADHD.
