Authorizes and directs the department of health to conduct a study on drugs prescribed for school age children with ADD and ADHD
This bill directs New York's Department of Health (with other agencies) to study medications prescribed for school-age children with ADD and ADHD. The study will examine harmful side effects, the accuracy of diagnostic tools, medication appropriateness, and whether diagnosis rates vary by demographic group. The Department must report findings to the governor and legislature within two years of the bill taking effect. The bill does not change current prescribing practices but aims to inform future policy through evidence-based research.
