This is a pretest for a
population-based case-control study of risk factors for
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in semi-rural Johnston
County, North Carolina. Teachers in 18 classrooms will be asked to
fill in brief behavior checklists on all the students in their
class (about 18 students per class estimated to participate). We
expect 63 of these children will be eligible as cases or controls
for detailed parent interviews about the child's behavior at home,
family history, and exposures to the mother during pregnancy. Shed
baby teeth will be collected from these children to measure lead
levels.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
