Spencer, Sarah V.; Hawk, Larry W., Jr.; Richards, Jerry B.; Shiels, Keri; Pelham, William E., Jr.; Waxmonsky, James G. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2009

The purpose of the study was to provide the first randomized, placebo-controlled test of the effects of the stimulant methylphenidate…
