Wodrich, David L.; Kush, Joseph C.
Psychology in the Schools, v35 n1 p81-88 Jan 1998
Reports on a study in which 57 students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, treated with methylphenidate (Ritalin), had ratings of their behavior compared to placebo on the School Situations Questionnaire (SSQ). Results reveal that SSQ ratings improved with medication in task-related situations, but less so in non-task or unstructured situations. (RJM)
