Abstract
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 3–7% of school-age children (Goldman et al, 1998) and causes symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity (DSM–IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1994). In the UK, many adolescents are currently being treated for ADHD; the prevalence of treated ADHD among boys aged 5–14 years was estimated at 5.3 per 1000 in 1999 (Jick et al, 2004). This means that over 40 000 boys aged 5–14 years are currently treated in the UK (2001 Census; http://www.Statistics.gov.uk/census2001/census2001.asp).
