Abstrakt:	Objective: This study examined adherence to clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medication labels when prescribing psychotropic medications to Medicaid-insured children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted with 2016-2018 Medicaid claims data across 46 states for children with an ADHD diagnosis and at least one psychotropic medication prescription (N=1,236,068 children). Medications recommended for pediatric use were identified with CPGs from the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Florida Medicaid Drug Therapy Management Program for Behavioral Health. Results: Across 46 states, 86.7% of children received guideline-recommended and FDA-approved medications for the treatment of ADHD and comorbid mental disorders. Antidepressants, antihistamines, and second-generation antipsychotics that were not included in CPGs were prescribed for 23.4% of children. Conclusions: High adherence to CPGs and FDA medication labels for medications prescribed for ADHD was observed, suggesting the effectiveness of guidelines in driving evidence-based care. Competing Interests: Dr. Naylor is the psychiatric consultant to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) Psychotropic Medication Consent Program and is paid via a contract between the University of Illinois Chicago and DCFS. The other authors report no financial relationships with commercial interests.
