Abstract
Background and Objective. Most of the earlier studies explored the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among university students with self-report measures. The aim of the present study was to find the prevalence of ADHD among south Indian university students.
Methods. This is a Cross sectional study conducted In different universities in south India. The Adult ADHD Symptoms Self-Report (ASRS) was filled out by 419 university students.

The sum of the 18 dichotomized items is computed only for those subjects who scored higher than 3 on the 6-item screener, and those who received a total score of higher than 10 are considered as likely to have ADHD. Data analysis was done using descriptive and analytical statistics in SPSS software.
Results. The self-reported ADHD prevalence rate among university students was 7%. The prevalence of ADHD was greater in females than males.
Conclusion. ADHD Prevalence is common among university students. To know the actual prevalence rate of ADHD structured interviews, clinical evaluations are needed.
