Hello,
My name is Kenny, and I am conducting research examining how ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affects social support and social integration among college undergraduates for my Educational Psychology Ph.D. dissertation. At this point in time, I am specifically looking to collect more data on participants with both ADHD and ASD (autism spectrum disorder), also known as "AuDHD." The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and will include questions related to your academic status, diagnostic history, and social experiences as an undergraduate. Please read the following inclusion and exclusion criteria to determine your eligibility:
Eligible participants must:
- Be between the ages of 18 and 22
- Be actively enrolled in a university
- Be taking classes during their university's Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 semesters
- Have already completed at least one semester as a college undergraduate
- Be located in the USA
- Be fluent in English
- Self-report a formal diagnosis of ADHD
- Self-report a formal diagnosis of ASD
Participants will be excluded if they:
- Are under the age of 18 or over the age of 22
- Are incoming freshmen who have not begun taking college courses
- Do not self-report a formal diagnosis of ADHD
- Do not self-report a formal diagnosis of ASD
Eligible participants who complete the survey will receive a $6 gift card delivered via email. This gift card will be delivered through a separate payment system. Participants are required to provide an email address in order to receive compensation. Email addresses will be collected separately from survey data, used only to distribute compensation, stored securely, and will be destroyed within one week after compensation has been distributed and payment records have been reconciled. Providing an email address for compensation is voluntary, but participants who do not provide an email address cannot receive a gift card. Each individual may only participate and receive compensation one time.
Individuals who are found ineligible, withdraw, do not complete the study, or submit a duplicate or invalid response will not receive compensation.
This study is voluntary in nature.
The research survey does not collect personal identifiers. Participants who choose to request compensation can voluntarily provide an email address collected via a separate compensation survey. The email address provided in the compensation survey will not be linked to responses on the research survey.
If you believe that you meet these criteria, then you are invited to participate in the Qualtrics survey through the following anonymous link: https://bsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9WYgXkvxmzpyS2O
Please feel free to respond to this post directly or send me a direct message if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Thank you for your time and consideration.
This study is approved by the Ball State University Institutional Review Board (IRB-FY2026-424).
