Does Stimulant Medication Improve the Peer Status of Hyperactive Children?
Whalen, Carol K.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v57 n4 p545-49 Aug 1989
Compared peer appraisals of hyperactive boys (N=40) after taking either placebo or 0.3 mg/kg or 0.6 mg/kg methylphenidate (Retaline). Found methylphenidate enhanced social standing but did not normalize peer appraisals. Found marked inter-individual variability in medication response. (Author/CM)
