Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) for ADHD
For diagnosis of adult ADHD. The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener v1.1 is used in primary care and mental health settings to screen for adult ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
Primary care and mental health providers can rapidly screen to detect patients who warrant further evaluation for adult ADHD. The ASRS can determine initial symptom severity and monitor symptom changes/treatment effect over time. Positive scores for these 6 items were found to be most predictive of a clinical diagnosis of ADHD (the current gold standard for diagnosis)
This is intended for patients that are less than 18 years of Age.
