Questionnaires for adhd

NOTE : All documents presented here have been donated by the authors, and I graciously thank them. These questionnaires and other tools are specially created for professionals. I chose to make them available to everyone, not for people with ADHD to consult without professional supervision but rather to provide universal access to these tools. If you are not a professional and visit this section, it is very likely that you will have questions about the content and I invite you to consult a professional in your area.

ADHD can impair driving. Dr Laurence Jerome's website allows clinicians to gather information about their patients driving history and current driving profile. It consists of the Jerome Driving Questionnaire (JDQ), the World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self Report Scale of symptoms of Inattention and Impulsivity (ASRS) and the Driving Behavior Survey (DBQ) by Professor Russell Barkley.

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a brief behavioral questionnaire for 3-16 years old. It is available in differents languages and various versions depending on the clinical and research needs. Comments by Dr. Margaret Weiss on the SDQ : This questionnaire is very useful for ADHD kids and has been translated into almost every language and available free of charge on the web. This includes the scoring program. It has been normed on 42,000 children. This questionnaire is widely used and includes ratings for emotional symptoms, conduct problems and other dimensions. It is short and easy to use.

Finally, there are research retrospective symptoms tools including those developed by Dr. Annick Vincent : comparative child-adult and current situation. They are based on the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD. These are not validated clinical scales, they are to help in gathering information.
