ADHD - common behavioral and emotional problem of children - is surrounded with some controversy regarding the way it is diagnosed and treated. This study investigates the relationship between working parents' willingness to medicate ADHD-like behaviors and the time they have available to spend with their children. The relationship was investigated in a subsample of 551 working parents from a population sample in Miami and Broward counties of Florida. A series of path analyses shows that spending more time with children is associated with being less willing to medicate ADHD-like behaviors.
