Differential effects of parent training and stimulant medication with hyperactives: A progress report.
Abstract During a 3-month intervention program , 43 hyperactive children and their families were assessed and followed . Families were r and omly assigned to one of three groups : parent training in behavior modification while the child was administered a placebo ; parent training plus methylpheni date ; and methylpheni date only . All groups showed improved home and school behavior . However , only with medication were there also gains on measures of attention and impulse control . The results also revealed greater improvement in the area of academic achievement and classroom behavior in the medication groups as compared with children on placebo . There was no evidence of significant benefit from the addition of parent training to the administration of medication
