dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate sociodemographic and clinical variables that might be associated with ADHD in adults trained in music and science departments. Material and Method: The study was conducted at Inönü University between January and June 2014. 52 students from music and 52 students from science teacher department between the ages of 18-25 without psychiatric and neurological disease were included in the study. The students were matched in terms of age, sex, duration of education and hand preference. The Turgay Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Self-Report Scale was administered to the students. Results: The mean age of 44 male and 58 male participants was 20.39 ± 1.99. There were no significant differences between the areas of music and science in terms of class level, family history of mental illness, childhood trauma exposure, experience of addictive substance. Department type, class level and family history of mental illness did not significantly affect ADHD scale scores. Hyperactivity (p=0.02) and problems (p=0.001) subscale and total scores (p=0.001) of students with childhood physical trauma exposure were significantly higher than those without exposure. The students with experience using substance were significantly higher problem subscale scores than those without experience (p=0.04). Conclusion: Childhood physical trauma and substance use experience were found to be associated with ADHD symptoms, but there was no difference between music and science domains in terms of ADHD. Knowing the factors associated with ADHD in adulthood will help to treat this disorder by increasing awareness. © 2016 Düzce Medical Journal.en_US
