Swanson, James M.; And Others

Using a "review of reviews" methodology, this literature synthesis on stimulant use with children with attention deficit disorder compared three reviews from each of three review types (traditional, meta-analytic, general audience). A consensus was found to exist about the expected benefits and the acknowledged limitations of stimulant medication. (Author/DB)
