Abstract
A double-blind procedure is presented for assessing the response to stimulant medication among children with attention deficit disorder. Of 94 children treated with methylphenidate and placebo, 70 demonstrated a positive response to active medication. It is suggested that a double-blind investigation is an efficient means of securing meaningful treatment information, particularly in difficult family or clinical situations.Keywords
