Validity of Pilot Adult ADHD Self- Report Scale (ASRS) to Rate Adult ADHD Symptoms

Abstract

The pilot Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale symptom checklist is a reliable and valid scale for evaluating ADHD for adults and shows a high internal consistency and high concurrent validity with the rater-administered ADHD RS.

Prevalence of ADHD in four general adult outpatient clinics in North East England

“…The first of the two questionnaires used was the Adult ADHD Self Report Scale (ASRS), 14 which was developed for the World Health Organization and is an 18-item measure based on the DSM-IV-TR criteria for ADHD that produces three scale scores. Because the current criteria for the diagnosis of ADHD require symptoms to be present in early childhood, the Wender Utah Rating Scale 15 was also completed.…”

Inter-hemispherical asymmetry in default-mode functional connectivity and BAIAP2 gene are associated with anger expression in ADHD adults

“…The diagnosis was confirmed for all of the cases by a best estimate procedure. All subjects also filled out the Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS-1.1) (Adler et al, 2006) exploring current ADHD symptoms, the Barrat Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-10) (Patton et al, 1995) investigating impulsivity (dimensions: attentional motor and non-planning impulsiveness), and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) (Spielberger, 1988), measuring the following anger dimensions: anger out, anger in, anger control, state anger and trait anger. All patients treated with methylphenidate stopped their medication 48 h before the fMRI recording.…”

“…Every participant was required to fill out the Adult ASRS-1.1 (Adler et al, 2006). All subjects were from European ancestry for at least two generations.…”

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Other Mental Health Problems, Substance Use, and Driving: Examination of a Population-Based, Representative Canadian Sample

“…The screener consists of 6-items, each with 5-point Likert scale response options, found to be most predictive of a DSM IV-based diagnosis of ADHD (Able et al 2007;Adler et al 2006;Kessler et al 2005Kessler et al , 2007. A positive ADHD symptoms screen is a total score greater than 13 ).…”
