title: Psychotropic medication efficacy graphs: an application of applied behavior analysis.
abstract: Boswell Center Psychotropic Medication Efficacy Graphs were developed to monitor the longitudinal effects of psychotropic medication on individuals with mental retardation. Levels of maladaptive and prosocial behaviors, medication side-effects, and psychotropic medication were considered simultaneously via the graphing system. The system provides data-based feedback to prescribing physicians and reduces reliance on anecdotal recollections.
