Hagaman, Jessica L.; Trout, Alexandra L.; Chmelka, M. Beth; Thompson, Ronald W.; Reid, Robert – Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2010

Given this heterogeneity, it is important to begin to identify the combinations and patterns of multiple risks, or risk profiles,…

This study evaluated data on 538 children with (n = 125) and without (n = 413) ADHD in residential care to determine demographic, mental health, behavioral, and treatment (i.e., medication use) characteristics.…
