Description
For sample children age 3 to 17 years, this variable indicates if the sample child took any medicine to control activity or behavior.
[show more]The Field Representative's Manual does not provide any criteria for medicine, therefore this term is assumed to be respondent defined. It also clarifies that if the respondent cannot give a 'yes or "no" answer to question but provides a particular medicine or drug that the child takes, the interviewer should not indicate yes, rather "footnote the name or description of the medication along with any other pertinent information the respondent supplies."
