Aman, Michael G.; And Others
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v17 n4 p511-23 Dec 1987
Nurses (N=227) were surveyed regarding attitudes, perceptions, and knowledge about the uses of psychotropic drugs. In general, greater age, male sex, status, and higher qualifications tended to covary and were associated with perception of greater involvement by senior nurses in drug-related decisions for institutionalized retarded persons.
