Are too many children being treated with methylphenidate?

A survey was conducted of the use of methylphenidate in British Columbia during a six month period to determine if a disproportionate number of children are being treated with methylphenidate for hyperactivity. The data obtained do not indicate a problem regarding the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children. However, the data pertaining to adults indicate that the reasons stated for prescribing methylphenidate are controversial in a significant number of cases.

Survey of methadone patients in Canada.

We present the results of a survey outlining the frequency of certain activities associated with drug-seeking behaviour, e.g. needle sharing, illicit activity. The data presented are based upon information concerning 1,000 patients receiving long-term Methadone as a treatment for opioid dependence. These data are unique in that specific information of this nature has never before been made available in Canada, and are of interest in view of the AIDS epidemic.
