Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: OBJECTIVE 1: To provide a national profile of the area variation in per-capita psychostimulant consumption in the U.S. METHODS 1: We separated 3,030 U.S. counties into two categories of “low” and “high” per-capita use of ADHD drugs (based on data from the Drug Enforcement Administration), and then analyzed them on the basis of their socio-demographic, economic, educational, and medical characteristics. RESULTS 1: Our analysis of the DEA's ARCOS data shows that most of the significant variables correlated with “higher” per-capita use of ADHD drugs serve as a proxy for county affluence. OBJECTIVE & METHODS 2: The second study examined the hypotheses that teachers’ perceptions about ADHD and its treatment vary and that these variations can be predicted by teacher characteristics. Across 14 schools (8 elementary, 5 middle, 1 high), 286 teachers (90% female, 90% Caucasian) completed a brief questionnaire assessing their perceptions about ADHD and its treatment. RESULTS 2: A multiple regression analysis indicated that being female, having children of their own, and having more years of experience at their current school were associated with teachers’ positive views of the effectiveness of psychostimulant medication for treating ADHD (p < .01). Interestingly, the characteristics related to the perception that psychostimulants are effective may be indicative of greater direct experience with children (i.e., having children and more teaching experience).
