Dr. Will Canu and his collaborators at Appalachian State and other universities across the country have been busy this year. Dr. Canu's research focuses on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), particularly in college students and young adults. This year, publications that he has authored or co-authored examine issues related to ADHD such as empirically assessment methods, interventions, and related features (executive functioning, comorbidity, procrastination). Current graduate students in the Clinical Psychology Psy.D. program (Maggie Johnson, Jonah Blum) and an Appalachian alum (Dane Hilton) are among those that have contributed to this body of work. Below are some of their recent work:
