Pharmacotherapy for Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Abstract
This article reviews information regarding the pharmacotherapy of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Basic information is presented regarding the most commonly used medications — central nervous system (CNS) stimulants — and dose levels, time courses, and dose equivalents across medications. The drugs' primary beneficial and adverse effects are reviewed and new, recently developed information is discussed. A cost-effective and efficient procedure for use in a regular classroom setting to evaluate drug response is described and a case example is presented. The utility of combined pharmacological, behavioral, and psychoeducational treatments is discussed. It is argued that school psychologists, working in conjunction with referred children's primary physicians, should play a major role in the initial, school-based determination of medication efficacy, as well as in implementation of ongoing behavioral treatment and pharmacological monitoring for children with ADHD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
