Stimulant treatment of children with ADHD reduces subsequent substance abuse [Science Blog]

Ye gads! 'Meta-data analysis' ...??? Sounds suspiciously like the old quote from Mark Twain:

There are three kids of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics.

Note the source of the funding for this particular waste of time and money. I wonder what the original grant proposal looked like?

If anybodys willing to throw enough money at me, I'll be glad to prove, statistically, that children who stuffed monkey turds up their nose before age 6 were much more likely to marry red heads.....
