Ongoing efforts in the lab currently include:
- U-LEARN: Undergraduate Learning, Executive functioning, and Attention Research Network. U-LEARN is a collaborative research project that involves teams from several universities, including Appalachian State, Wyoming, Northern Iowa, Colorado-Boulder, South Carolina, Syracuse, Chicago-Illinois, Southern Mississippi, Hawaii, and Louisiana State. Our main focus is trying to better illustrate the factors associated with adjustment in college for students with ADHD. Data is collected at all sites via the SONA online platform, facilitating a large and diverse sample of students with and without ADHD.
- College ADHD Skills Training: Our team and colleagues at Wyoming, South Carolina, and Richmond are developing and testing a CBT-based intervention to promote the success of students with ADHD in college. If you are a student at Appalachian and are interested in participating in our Thriving in College group, contact Dr. Canu.
