“…Inspection of Figure 2b shows three samples with fairly large differences in accuracy favoring parents over teachers [34–36] and one favoring teachers over parents [31]. Those studies showing the highest levels of accuracy [30 32] show very similar results for parents and teachers. From Table 2 we see that these two studies had the highest fraction of male subjects and both used enriched samples.…”

Objective To review the literature evaluating the psychometric properties of parent and teacher informants relative to a gold-standard ADHD diagnosis in pediatric populations. Method We included studies that included both a parent and teacher informant, a gold-standard diagnosis, and diagnostic accuracy metrics. Potential confounds were evaluated. We also assessed the ‘OR’ and the ‘AND’ rules for combining informant reports. Results Eight articles met inclusion criteria. The diagnostic accuracy for predicting gold standard ADHD diagnoses did not differ between parents and teachers. Sample size, sample type, participant drop-out, participant age, participant gender, geographic area of the study, and date of study publication were assessed as potential confounds. Conclusion Parent and teachers both yielded moderate to good diagnostic accuracy for ADHD diagnoses. Parent reports were statistically indistinguishable from those of teachers. The predictive features of the ‘OR’ and ‘AND’ rules are useful in evaluating approaches to better integrating information from these informants.

“…When the primary factors were considered there was no substantial difference from studies carried out in other western countries (Conners, Sitarenios, Parker & Epstein, 1998;Pineda et al, 2005) as well as in many oriental countries (Aramaki & Uno, 2004;Liu et al, 2000;Luk, Leung & Lee, 1988 ;Yao, Solanto & Wender, 1988). These studies support ADHD as an universally valid syndrome.…”

This study was designed to develop and assess the internal consistency and factor structure of a teacher's scale for the assessment of hyperactive/impulsive and inattentive behavior in a sample of 221 children from different cities in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Forty-five teachers rated the children. The internal consistency of the scale was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha. An orthogonal varimax rotation that maximizes the variance of the squared loadings for each factor was used to find the simplest possible factor structure. There is no internal discrepancy in the item content of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis showed four primary factors (hyperactivity/impulsivity; inattention; social isolation; self-confidence) that are psychologically meaningful. When factor analysis was carried out there was no substantial difference from other studies when compared with the results of other western and oriental countries. It was concluded that this teacher's scale can be a useful aid to clinicians in the identification of children with hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattention problems.Uniterms: Attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity.

“…The scores did not systematically vary across visits; therefore, we averaged the BASC T -scores for those children who returned for more than one visit (Engel et al, 2010). The BASC has been well-validated as a tool for diagnosing ADHD, particularly in children who display both inattention and hyperactivity (Vaughn et al, 1997; Ostrander et al, 1998; Pineda et al, 2005; Jarratt et al, 2005). Boys in the general population score more poorly than girls on Attention Problems, Aggression, Conduct Problems, Hyperactivity clinical scales and the Externalizing Problems and Adaptive Skills Composite scales of the BASC; similarly, children diagnosed with ADHD consistently score poorer in the same domains (Reynolds and Kamphaus, 1998).…”

Objective Slight perturbations in maternal sex steroid production and metabolism may interfere with normal fetal neurodevelopment. The balance of maternal estrogens and androgens may have direct fetal effects, may influence the fetal hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis or may alter local hormonal activity within the fetal brain. We investigated maternal functional polymorphisms of CYP17, CYP19 and CYP1B1, which control three major enzymatic steps in sex steroid biosynthesis and metabolism, in relation to childhood behaviors. Methods The Mount Sinai Children’s Environmental Health Study enrolled a multiethnic urban pregnancy cohort from 1998–2002 (n = 404). DNA was obtained from maternal blood (n=149) and from neonatal cord blood (n=53). At each visit, mothers completed the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC), a parent-reported questionnaire used to evaluate children for behavior problems. We focused on problem behaviors more commonly associated with ADHD (hyperactivity, attention problems, externalizing behaviors, conduct disorder, poor adaptability) to see if maternal genetic variants in sex steroid production and metabolism influence sexually-dimorphic behaviors in offspring. Results The more active gene variants were significantly associated with Attention Problems and poorer Adaptive Skills in male compared to female offspring. The CYP19 variant allele was also significantly associated with worse scores for boys on the Hyperactivity, Externalizing Problems Composite and Adaptive Skills Composite scales (p < 0.05). Conclusion We observed maladaptive behaviors in the male offspring of mothers who carried functional polymorphisms in the sex steroid pathway. The strongest associations were in domains commonly affected in Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder.
