The DSM-5 ADHD assessments, refreshed
Both the adult and child ADHD assessments were rebuilt around the two things people found hardest: keeping track of which period they are answering about, and knowing where they are in a long assessment.
Highlights
- -A period rail that keeps adulthood and childhood visibly separate as you answer
- -Quiet breathers part way through, with no extra step to click past
- -Picking the link up again resumes exactly where it stopped, with answers intact
- -An endorsed symptom with no example given is marked for the practitioner to review
- -On the child assessment, who is filling it in is one explicit choice, and the child is named throughout
A structured ADHD assessment asks the same symptom twice, once about now and once about childhood, and asks for an example each time. That is demanding, and the old layout left people unsure which period they were in. Both assessments now carry a period rail that keeps the two apart, quiet breathers part way through that need no click, and a resume that puts someone back exactly where they stopped. Where a symptom is endorsed without a specific example, that is marked for the practitioner rather than passed over. On the child assessment, who is answering is asked once and answered plainly, and the child is named throughout instead of being called the patient.
