OBJECTIVES: The authors investigated student satisfaction with the use of comics as an educational tool in clinical medical education. METHODS: Students on a Psychiatry clinical clerkship reviewed educational comics at the time of orientation. End of clerkship surveys were utilized to assess students' perceptions about the usefulness of comics for their learning during the clerkship. Students' responses were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. RESULTS: Eighty-four percent of students indicated that comics helped improve their understanding of clinical concepts, while approximately 80% felt that reviewing comics prior to each clerkship rotation helped ease transition into their assigned clinical service. Almost three quarters of all responders (74%) indicated that they were more likely to review preparatory material in comic form, as compared to other formats. Students found the comics easy to read, fun, and appreciated the concise presentation of information within them. Students also highlighted the limited amount of information presented as a relative weakness of the program. CONCLUSIONS: Comics may be utilized as an acceptable educational tool in clinical medical education.

OBJECTIVE: Sleep problems were analyzed in children with ADHD (Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder). METHODS: Scales were completed by parents of 135 control children and 681 children with ADHD combined type (ADHD-C) or inattentive type (ADHD-I) with or without comorbid oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), anxiety, or depression. RESULTS: Children with ADHD-I alone had the fewest sleep problems and did not differ from controls. Children with ADHD-C had more sleep problems than controls and children with ADHD-I. Comorbid anxiety/depression increased sleep problems, whereas ODD did not. Daytime sleepiness was greatest in ADHD-I and was associated with sleeping more (not less) than normal. Medicated children had greater difficulty falling asleep than unmedicated children. CONCLUSIONS: Differences in sleep problems were found as a function of ADHD subtype, comorbidity, and medication.
