    Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) for ADHD

    Diagnoses adult ADHD.

    IMPORTANT

    Variation in screen resolution and text size may impact accuracy.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    This is intended for patients 18 years and older.
    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use
    • 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.
    • 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).
    • The ASRS has been validated in the general population.
    • It is an abbreviated 6-item version of the full ASRS, which evaluates for the DSM criteria for adult ADHD.
    • Positive scores for these 6 items were found to be most predictive of a clinical diagnosis of ADHD (the current gold standard for diagnosis).
    • Items in the scale are frequently seen in other psychiatric disorders, and can even be normal variants in the general population. This scale is best used as a preliminary step in a more comprehensive clinical evaluation that includes assessment of the patient’s level of impairment in various domains of functioning.
    • Adult ADHD is thought to be relatively common (4.4% prevalence in one study) and underdiagnosed.
    • The ASRS provides an overview of symptoms that can guide further assessment.
    Select the response that best describes how the patient has felt and conducted his/herself over the past 6 months.
