“…There was, however, a moderately strong association between self-reported depression and ADHD symptoms. These findings are similar to the results of past studies in users of cocaine and other substances (Beatty et al, 1995; Horner et al, 1999; Shelton & Parson, 1987; Errico et al, 1990) and extended them to a relatively homogenous group of confirmed active cocaine users.…”

“…Thus, self-reported neurocognitive symptoms were not associated with neurocognitive performance, but were moderately associated with self-reported depressive symptoms. This study (Horner et al, 1999) provided further evidence that subjective and objective measures of neurocognitive functioning are unrelated to each other in a mixed group of substance users.…”

“…In replication of the data analytic strategy of the Horner et al (1999) study, Pearson bivariate correlations were computed on the sample between total raw scores on the ARS-IV, BDI-II, all of the neurocognitive measures, and cocaine use variables. Pearson bivariate correlations were also computed on the sample between raw scores on the ARS-IV Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscales, the BDI-II Cognitive-Affective and Somatic Subscales, and all of the neurocognitive measures.…”

“…A subsequent study (Horner, et al, 1999) of the relationship between subjective and objective neurocognitive function in substance abusers partially addressed these concerns. This study employed a mixed group of substance abusers (n=86) that were treatment-engaged and abstinent.…”

“…However, in these studies (Horner et al, 1999; Beatty et al, 1995, Errico et al, 1990), the self-report measures conflated cognitive functioning in multiple domains, and relatively heterogeneous participant groups were employed for the correlational analyses. These factors could have potentially obscured the relationship between subjective and objective measures of attention (see Vadhan et al, 2001) in cocaine users.…”

Objective This study examined the relationship between subjective measures of inattention/hyperactivity-impulsivity and mood and objective measures of neurocognitive function in cocaine users. Design Ninety-four active cocaine users not seeking treatment (73 male, 21 female) were administered two self-report psychiatric measures (the ADHD Rating Scale – Fourth Edition; ARS-IV), and the Beck Depression Inventory – Second Edition; BDI-II), and a battery of tests measuring attention, executive, psychomotor, visual and verbal learning, visuospatial, and language functions. Correlations between scores on the psychiatric measures (total and subscale) and the neurocognitive measures were examined. Results While scores on the BDI-II and ARS-IV were correlated with each other (p<0.01), scores on both self-report measures were largely uncorrelated with neurocognitive test scores (p>0.05). Conclusion There was a minimal relationship between psychiatric measures that incorporate subjective assessment of cognitive function, and objective neurocognitive measures in nontreatment-seeking cocaine users, consistent with previous findings in other samples of substance users. This suggests that self-report measures may have limited utility as proxies for neurocognitive performance.
