ROCHESTER, Minn. — In an 18-year study on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Mayo Clinic researchers found that treatment with prescription stimulants is associated with improved long-term academic success of children with the condition.
A related Mayo Clinic study finds that compared to children without ADHD, children with the disorder are at risk for poor long-term school outcomes such as low achievement in reading, absenteeism, repeating a grade and dropping out of school.
