Abstract
Physicians should assume greater responsibility in the prevention of stimulant misuse and diversion by implementing prevention practices more often with their adolescent patients with ADHD. With respect to the generalizability of these findings, it must be noted that the sample was limited to pediatric subspecialists and may be influenced by selection bias and response bias. Further research must be performed to better understand physicians' views of the risks and benefits of stimulants and to ascertain best practices for the prevention of stimulant misuse and diversion.
