Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.

 

Unfortunately, I do not have an answer to your question and am not personally aware of any studies that indicate the percentage of doctors who choose not to prescribe stimulant medications for children with ADHD.

 

Sorry I could not have been of more help.
