The full version of the scale contains 18 items, but the short screener version contains 6 items and has been shown to outperform the original 18-item scale [485]. The 6-point scale involves respondents assessing the frequency of ADHD symptoms over the past six months, on a 5-item scale ranging from ‘never’ to ‘very often’. The 6-item screening tool has been validated for use in AOD populations [486–488], demonstrating that it is an appropriately sensitive tool for screening for the presence of ADHD among people with co-occurring conditions. The ASRS is included in Appendix O. Download section Previous Next
