Abstract
The general objective is to contribute to a panoramic view of the phenomenon of the medicalizationof ADHD in Argentina, and to discussions about the dissemination of knowledge about childhood. The analysis is part of studies on the transformation and expansion of medicalization in the XXI century, and the processes of diagnosis and treatment of ADHD are addressed. The article presents data from 1) world production and consumption of methylphenidate, and data fromArgentina from 2) import of methylphenidate as monodrug (2003-2016); 3) dispensed containersof atomoxetine and methylphenidate (2005-2010 and 2012-2016). These data are triangulated with qualitative sources: 84 semi-structured interviews, individual and group, between 2007 and 2017, to health professionals with clinical, teaching and research activities in the City of BuenosAires, Tierra del Fuego, Corrientes and Salta. Consonant and dissonant Argentine trends with these processes are described and analyzed worldwide.
期刊介绍:
Politics & Society is a peer-reviewed journal. All submitted papers are read by a rotating editorial board member. If a paper is deemed potentially publishable, it is sent to another board member, who, if agreeing that it is potentially publishable, sends it to a third board member. If and only if all three agree, the paper is sent to the entire editorial board for consideration at board meetings. The editorial board meets three times a year, and the board members who are present (usually between 9 and 14) make decisions through a deliberative process that also considers written reports from absent members. Unlike many journals which rely on 1–3 individual blind referee reports and a single editor with final say, the peers who decide whether to accept submitted work are thus the full editorial board of the journal, comprised of scholars from various disciplines, who discuss papers openly, with author names known, at meetings. Editors are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest when evaluating manuscripts and to recuse themselves from voting if such a potential exists.
