This thesis concerns the role of nutrients in cognitive and behaviour problems associated with child attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Study 1 investigated relationships between Conners' ADHD Index ratings, fatty acid deficiency symptoms (FADS), and cognitive performance in a normal population of children. Studies 2 and 3 comprised a 30 week intervention trial investigating effects of n-3 PUFA supplementation on ADHD symptoms in 7-12 year old children with high ADHD scores.
