The research, called the MTA, was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). It was the largest study ever done to compare different types of treatment for ADHD. Many researchers and six universities were involved in the project, which started in the 1990s.

The initial study included 579 children who were assigned to one of three types of groups for fourteen months of intensive treatment:

  • Medication
  • Behavior therapy
  • Combination of medication and behavior therapy

When the results were evaluated at 14 months, the children remaining in the study stayed in their original groups or went into a fourth group receiving treatment chosen by their parents. They were followed up at two years, three years, and eight years.
