The aim of this research is to analyze Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scales IV (ADHD RS-IV) criteria validity and its clinical usefulness for the assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as a function of assessment method and age.A sample was obtained from an epidemiological study (n = 1095, 6-16 years). Clinical cases of ADHDnbsp; (ADHD-CL) were selected by dimensional ADHD RS-IV and later by clinical interview (DSM-IV). ADHD-CL cases were compared with four categorical results of ADHD RS-IV provided by parents (CATPA), teachers (CATPR), either parents or teachers (CATPAOPR) and both parents and teachers (CATPAamp;PR). Criterion validity and clinical usefulness of the answer modalities to ADHD RS-IV were studied.ADHD-CL rate was 6.9% in childhood, 6.2% in preadolescence and 6.9% in adolescence. Alternative methods to the clinical interview led to increased numbers of ADHD cases in all age groups analyzed, in the following sequence: CATPAOPRgt; CATPROgt; CATPAgt; CATPAamp;PRgt; ADHD-CL. CATPAamp;PR was the procedure with the greatest validity, specificity and clinical usefulness in all three age groups, particularly in the childhood.Isolated use of ADHD RS-IV leads to an increase in ADHD cases compared to clinical interview, and varies depending on the procedure used. |
