Stimulant Treatment for Children: A Community Perspective
Open accessAbstract
Objective To examine the use of prescribed stimulants in relation to research diagnoses of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a community sample of children.Method Data from 4 annual waves of interviews with 9- to 16-year-olds from the Great Smoky Mountains Study were analyzed.Results Over a 4-year period, almost three quarters of children with an unequivocal diagnosis of ADHD received stimulant medications. However, girls and older children with ADHD were less likely to receive such treatment. Most children with impairing ADHD symptoms not meeting full criteria for DSM-III-R ADHD did not receive stimulant treatment. Stimulant treatment in this group was significantly related to the level of symptoms reported by parents and teachers and was much more common in individuals who met criteria for oppositional defiant disorder. The majority of individuals who received stimulants were never reported by their parents to have any impairing ADHD symptoms. They did have higher levels of nonimpairing parent-reported ADHD symptoms, higher levels of teacher-reported ADHD symptoms, and interviewer-observed ADHD behaviors, but these typically fell far below the threshold for a DSM-III-R diagnosis of ADHD.Conclusions In this area of the Great Smoky Mountains, stimulant treatment was being used in ways substantially inconsistent with current diagnostic guidelines.

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.
