Does the Format of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Impact the Results
Sponsor: University of Alberta
Summary
The World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale v1.1 (ASRS) is frequently used in family medicine clinics to screen for ADHD. Numerous studies have found the ASRS has a low positive predictive value. Compounding this concern is the format of the ASRS. Specifically, the answers on the ASRS that lead to screen positive results are shaded in gray and grouped together, which may make it easy for patients to discern which responses should be selected for a positive screen.
