Abstract
To investigate the informativeness of self-reports of ADHD symptoms in adults with ADHD in the clinical
setting. Method: Subjects were clinically referred adults aged 19 years to 67 years of age of both sexes (N = 54). All
subjects were on stable doses of stimulant and were considered responders to treatment. ADHD symptoms were assessed
using the ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) and the ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS). Spearman’s rank
correlations were used to assess the correlations between clinician-assessed ADHD and patients’ self-reports. Results:
Spearman’s rank correlation analysis found evidence of a strong, positive association between total scores on the AISRS
and the ASRS (rs = .65, df = 52, p < .001). Conclusion: Results have important implications for the management and
monitoring of treatment response in the clinical setting through patients’ self-report.(J. of Att. Dis. 2020; 24(3) 420-424)
