The Conners ADHD Rating Scale 3 - Parent Short Form

The Conners ADHD Rating Scale 3 Parent Short Form is a 43-item parent report designed to assess attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and evaluate problem behavior in children and adolescents (ages 6 to 18).

Parents are asked to rate statements about their child in the past month on a 4-point scale: 0-Not true at all (Never, Seldom), 1-Just a little true (Occasionally), 2-Pretty much true (Often, Quite a bit), 3-Very much true (Very often, very frequently).

Domains Assessed: Aggression and Oppositionality, Attention Problems and Hyperactivity, Cognitive and Executive Functioning, Social Interaction

Note: This self-assessment is given to guardians of child participants ages 6-17 years old.
