Davidson, Judy C.; Ford, Donna Y.
Journal of Negro Education, v70 n4 p264-74 Fall 2001
Studied the views of parents and educators about the causes and treatments of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) through 45 hours of interviews with 25 participants at 4 urban schools. Results show that parents and educators have a socially constructed view of ADHD and are less likely to use stimulant medicine for the treatment of ADHD. (SLD)
