Abstract
The use of stimulant drugs for control of hyperactivity in children led one mental health center to centralize the procedure in a medication clinic. A number of benefits were derived from monitoring the children through routine folow up visits. One of the retrospective findings over a three-year period was the low incidence and prevalence rates of medicated hyperactive youngsters in a high volume children's service.
