The Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Test (ADHDT-2), now in its second edition helps teachers, parents, and clinicians identify ADHD in individuals and estimate its severity. It’s based on the 2013 diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder adopted by the APA and published in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders–Fifth Edition (DSM-5). The test yields standard scores, percentile ranks, severity levels, and probability of ADHD.
- • Items and subscales reflect DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
- The Hyperactivity and Impulsivity subscales were merged into one subscale.
- The overall number of items was reduced to 33.
- Both subscales and the ADHD Index have been empirically determined to be valid and sensitive for identification of children with ADHD.
- All new normative data were collected on a sample of 1,591 examinees diagnosed with ADHD. Data were collected in 2013 from 44 states and the District of Columbia.
- Demographic characteristics of the normative sample are keyed to those reported by U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2011.
- An interpretation guide in the Examiner’s Manual allows the examiner an easy and efficient method for assessing the probability of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and the severity of the disorder.
- Internal consistency (content sampling) reliability coefficients for the subscales exceed .85 and the ADHD Index exceeds .96.
- Test-retest (time sampling) reliability coefficients exceed .80 for subscales and .84 for the ADHD Index.
- Interrater reliability intraclass coefficients exceed .80 and .90 for the ADHD Index.
- Correlations of the ADHDT-2 scores with those of other well-known diagnostic tests for ADHD are large or very large in magnitude.
- All new validity studies show that the test results are valid for a wide variety of subgroups, as well as for the general population.
- Diagnostic accuracy studies indicate that the ADHDT-2 is able to discriminate children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder from typical children without ADHD (i.e., sensitivity = .90, specificity = .82, ROC/AUC = .95.
- Confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses demonstrate the theoretical and empirical validity of the subscales.
