ADHD symptomatology, fear of intimacy, and sexual anxiety and behavior among college students in China and the United States.

Objective: ADHD is marked by an apparent contradiction in social relationships: Those with the disorder have more difficulty establishing close relationships but report increased rates of risky sexual behavior. Two studies examined the relationship between ADHD symptomatology and fear of intimacy, sexual anxiety, and sexual behavior in college students.

Method: In the first study, college students in China (n = 300) and the United States (n = 233) completed a series of questionnaires.
