Abbreviated IOWA/Conners’ Rating Scale:<br />
inattentive/overactive (results from classroom)<br />
Low-dose MPH + BM: 1.8 (3.5)<br />
High-dose MPH + BM: 3.2 (2.8)<br />
Placebo + BM: 3.3 (3.9)<br />
Low-dose MPH + no BM: 4.1 (4.4)<br />
High-dose MPH + no BM: 3.3 (2.9)<br />
Placebo + no BM: 9.9 (3.8) (Low/high MPH > placebo,<br />
p < 0.0001). The two MPH conditions did not differ from<br />
each o<strong>the</strong>r. Behaviour modification was associated with<br />
reductions in inattentive/overactive<br />

inattentive/overactive<br />
Effect sizes:<br />
MPH (low <strong>and</strong> high dose): 1.63 (1.24)<br />
BM: 1.29 (0.80)<br />
MPH (low <strong>and</strong> high dose) + BM: 1.88 (0.83) (MPH + BM<br />
> BM, p < 0.01); MPH alone <strong>and</strong> BM alone were not<br />
significantly different from each o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
