Study Summary

This is a pilot study evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of Ritalin LA in treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in 4 and 5 year old children. Virtually no data has been published on the use of long-acting stimulant preparations in very young children despite early symptomatic development in a significant portion of young children with ADHD. This would be one of the first studies looking at a long-acting preparation of a stimulant medication in the treatment of ADHD in very young children. Hypotheses 1. Ritalin LA is effective for the treatment of ADHD in 4 and 5 year old children. 2. Ritalin LA is reasonably well-tolerated in the treatment of ADHD in 4 and 5 year old children.

Primary Outcome

Change from baseline to endpoint of investigator-scored, parent version of the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-IV rating scale). The ADHD-IV contains 18 items, and each item is rated 0, 1, 2 or 3. Minimum score is 0. Maximum score is 54. Change in score represents the difference between the total score at end point compared to the total score at baseline. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

Interventions
