Stim Nation: ADHD Drugs Stunting Growth

I cannot find the original research online but various web sites are reporting this story:

A new review of past studies on the effect that attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drugs have on children’’s growth concludes that the drugs do, in fact, suppress growth to some degree.

While the effect found was statistically significant, one of the study’’s authors, Dr. Omar Khwaja, an instructor in neurology at Children’’s Hospital Boston, said the average growth suppression for a 10-year-old boy was probably about three-quarters of an inch in height and a little more than two pounds in weight.
