ADHD is characterized by developmentally inappropriate inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity resulting in academic and social impairment (American Psychological Association [APA], 2000). Once conceptualized as a disorder specific to childhood, it is now estimated that ADHD persists into adult-hood in 58 % to 70 % of cases (Barkley, Fischer, Smallish, & Fletcher, 2002). Individuals with ADHD have been found to engage in higher rates of risky behavior across the life spa
