Primary outcomePrimary: ADHD Rating Scale IV — 18.0; 21.3 units on a scale
Summary
Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) aged 9-12 years of age will be placed on a restriction diet for a 5 week period. Children will be randomized to either receive daily snacks that conform to the diet or will violate the diet (Ruse diet) in a double blind fashion. It is hypothesized that children who are consistently on the restricted diet (relative to those on the ruse diet) will show improvements in ADHD symptoms.
