Methods: Deploying soldiers (<I>N</I> = 260) completed the World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener. Cognitive tests, a deployment health-history questionnaire, and the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Military Version were completed by subsamples of available participants. Results: The prevalence of positive ASRS screens was 10.4%. ASRS scores were correlated with PTSD avoidance (<I>N</I> = 63, <I>&#961;</I> = 0.37, <I>p</I> = 0.003), hyperarousal (<I>N</I> = 63, <I>&#961;</I> = 0.25, <I>p</I> = 0.047), and total PTSD scores (<I>N</I> = 62, <I>&#961;</I> = 0.33, <I>p</I> = 0.009); and all six moods (e.g., anger, anxiety) scale scores (<I>N</I> = 110; <I>&#961;</I> = &#8722;0.37 to 0.43). ASRS was also correlated with scores on the match-to-sample (<I>N</I> = 110, <I>&#961;</I> = &#8722;0.23, <I>p</I> = 0.014) and emotional Stroop (<I>N</I> = 108, <I>&#961;</I> = &#8722;0.23, <I>p</I> = 0.016) tasks. In addition, a differential pattern between subtypes of ADHD was noted with regard to cognitive functioning, mood, and combat stress symptomatology. Conclusions: Although the results are preliminary given the sample size, the prevalence and comorbidities of ADHD appear to be similar among military and nonmilitary populations.",
