Taking ADHD medication such
as Ritalin and Adderall seems to be increasingly popular amongst young people
wanting to improve their academic performance.
To examine parents’ awareness about this emerging issue, the
C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health asked anational sample of parents about their teens’ use of “study drugs” and their
level of concern about the misuse of “study drugs” in their communities.
Among parents of 13- to 17-year-olds who have not been
prescribed such medicines, 1 in 100 say their teens have used a “study drug” to
stay awake to study for an exam or to do homework. At the same time, 1 in 8 high school seniors
report using “study drugs”.
