Abstract
A regional study of ADHD medication use was conducted to address community concerns about an apparently high prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study documented that the use of ADHD medication among elementary school children in two southeastern Virginia school districts was two to three times higher than published prevalence estimates. This study contributed to community leaders' desire for a regional school health coalition to ensure continued community involvement in school health assessment and planning. The case history of this coalition, the School Health Initiative for Education (SHINE) is presented as an example of effective community collaboration.
