ADHD: S.T.A.R.T. Straight Talk About Responsible Treatment with cartoon family

S.T.A.R.T. (Straight Talk About Responsible Treatment) Now is designed to help parents, kids, and school personnel become more informed about ADHD and appropriate use of stimulant medications. This program contains information for teens who have been prescribed a stimulant medication as part of their ADHD treatment plan, parents of children with ADHD, and school personnel.

Novartis is proud to have developed S.T.A.R.T. Now in consultation with the following organizations*:

	The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
	The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
	The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
	The National Council for Patient Information and Education (NCPIE)
	The National Association of School Nurses (NASN)

Novartis would like to thank each of these organizations for lending their valuable time to this project.
