Goodman DW. Editorial on Sonuyga-Barke for EBMH. Evidence-Based Mental Health, Brit Med J. May 2013.
Question: Are dietary and pharmacological interventions effective for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?
Outcomes: Post-treatment change from baseline in total ADHD symptom severity as measured by ADHD-specific symptom scales (eg, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) ADHD subscale of Conner’s Parent and Teacher Rating Scales) or if this was not available, questionnaire measures of ADHD-related dimensions (eg, inattention on Rutter parents’ and teachers’ scales) or direct observations.
