Psychotropic drug utilization in children with concurrent attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and anxiety

• We examined psychotropic drug use in children with ADHD and anxiety.
• The overall follow-up time was occupied almost evenly by no treatment (∼30%), mono-(∼40%) and combination pharmacotherapy (∼30%).
• Treatment prevalence of ADHD outweighed treatment of anxiety.
• Both clinical and non-clinical factors had impact on combination pharmacotherapy.
• Significant treatment differences exist among the 26 US study states.
