A Teacher Rating Scale for Use in Drug Studies with Children

American Journal of Psychiatry · 1969 · Vol. 126(6) · pp. 884–888

Abstract

The author describes and emphasizes the value of a symptom and behavior rating checklist for teachers' use in drug studies with children. Factor analysis of the scale produced five factors that gave reliable subscales over a one-month period. A treatment study of dextroamphetamine with a group of children having learning and/or behavior disorders showed significant changes in all factors compared with a placebo group in a double-blind study.
