"1 out of every 5 Ivy League students is prescribed stimulants."
From the third paragraph of the article:
"Researchers analyzed responses from an online questionnaire of more than 600 Ivy League sophomores, juniors and seniors who were not diagnosed with ADHD — attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder — and therefore did not have a prescription for the medication. Writing essays and studying for an exam cause the most angst for students — of those who used stimulants, 69 percent said they used them to stay focused while writing and 66 percent said they used the drugs to help study."
- mr_00ff00 11mo agoFair point, I was incorrect on the exact stat. But it is still very very high for legal prescriptions in the article compared to general populous.
