Abstract
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a relatively common behavioral disorder of childhood, with important consequences for affected individuals, their families, and society.1,2 The financial burden of ADHD, however, has not been well described.1 Individuals with ADHD have been shown to exhibit increased use of mental health, social, and special education services,3,4 but there is a paucity of information on the use and costs of medical care.Keywords
