Rowland receives scholarly acclaim for ADHD research

Julie Rowland received scholarly acclaim for her research on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). An invitation was extended to present her findings among colleagues at the Southeastern Psychological Association. Furthermore, Rowland's research was chosen to be one of only six articles selected to be featured in the annual publication of The Journal of Psychology and the Behavioral Sciences.

Rowland's independent data-based research looked at symptoms of ADHD (inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, etc.) in college students and how it affects ones' self-esteem, social behavior and communication. Results of the study showed those students with more ADHD symptoms had lower self-esteem and more difficulty communicating and interacting with others compared to college students with few to no ADHD symptoms. These findings indicate that ADHD symptoms can continue to cause difficulty and interfere with multiple areas of ones' life into adulthood.

Julie, a 1997 Lincoln County High School graduate, has earned her Bachelor of Science in research psychology, Master of Science in clinical psychology, and is currently pursuing her Doctorate in psychology at Oklahoma State University.

.. Never leave a campfire burning unattended, even for a few minutes.

.. Keep all flammable objects

matches, food wrappings, plastic sheets, tents, etc.) away from the campfire.

.. Be sure your campfire is out before you leave. Soak it with water, mix ashes with the soil, and soak again. Take extra care with partially burned wood; hot embers can re-ignite hours later.
