Abstract
The strong recent public interest in attention deficit disorder and its drug treatment has led to the need for, and development of, guidelines for clinical practice. As a first step in this process our aim was to ascertain the current level of professional consensus on certain points regarding the use of medication in attention deficit disorder. Although a high level of consensus was found in relation to indications and prescribing issues, opinion was divided on details of how the treatment should be delivered – including the role of paediatricians, and the use of psychological treatments.
