The use of stimulant medication in a sample of 435 high-school pupils was investigated. Twenty-seven parents (6.2%) reported that their child had in the past been, or currently was being, treated with methylphenidate for childhood behavioural or learning disorders. The findings suggest that guidelines for the rational use of stimulant medication are not being followed in a significant proportion of cases.
