Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Conners Parents Rating Scale-Revised Long Form

  Conners Parents Rating Scale-Revised Long Form is a 4-points-Likert-scale, consisting of 80 items. The given items are expressions defining the daily life behaviors of children at home setting due to ADHD. Parents mark a score between 0 (means "expression never suits my child's behavior) and 3 (means expression suits my child's behavior completely). It comprises of 14 behavioral categories: Oppositional, Cognitive Problems/Inattention, Hyperactivity, Anxious/Shy, Perfectionism, Social Problems, Psychosomatic, ADHD Index, Restless/Impulsive, Emotional Lability, Global Index, DSM-IV Inattention, DSM-IV Hyperactive/Impulsive, and DSM-IV Total. A higher score indicates more severe symptoms.

  Conners Teachers Rating Scale-Revised Long is a 4-points-Likert-scale, consisting of 59 items. The items define the school life behaviors of children due to ADHD. The child's teacher marks a score from 0 (means "expression never suits child's behavior) to 3 (means expression suits child's behavior completely). It comprises 14 behavioral categories: Oppositional, Cognitive Problems/Inattention, Hyperactivity, Anxious/Shy, Perfectionism, Social Problems, ADHD Index - Inattention, ADHD Index - Hyperactivity, Restless/Impulsive, Emotional Lability, Global Index, DSM-IV Inattention, DSM-IV Hyperactive/Impulsive, and DSM-IV Total.

• the Scales for Diagnosing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - Home Rating Scale

  the Scales for Diagnosing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - Home Rating Scale measures the levels of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention from the parent's perspective. It is a 4-points-Likert-scale, consisting of 40 items. Each item describes a specific behavior correlated with ADHD and parents scores items due to the frequency of behavior described by the item, considering the behaviors of the child at home setting. A high score means high frequency and more severe symptoms.
