Multi-method assessment of ADHD characteristics in preschool children: Relations between measures
چکیده انگلیسی

Several forms of assessment tools, including behavioral rating scales and objective tests such as the Continuous Performance Test (CPT), can be used to measure inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive behaviors associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However, research with school-age children has shown that the correlations between parent ratings, teacher ratings, and scores on objective measures of ADHD-characteristic behaviors are modest at best. In this study, we examined the relations between parent and teacher ratings of ADHD and CPT scores in a sample of 65 preschoolers ranging from 50 to 72 months of age. No significant associations between teacher and parent ratings of ADHD were found. Parent-ratings of both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity accounted for variance in CPT omission errors but not CPT commission errors. Teacher ratings showed evidence of convergent and discriminant validity when entered simultaneously in a hierarchical regression. These tools may be measuring different aspects of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.


► Correlations between different ADHD assessment tools were small.
► Parent-ratings were uncorrelated with teacher-ratings of ADHD-related behaviors.
► Teacher-ratings of ADHD-related behaviors were uncorrelated with errors on the CPT.
► Parent-ratings of ADHD-related behaviors were correlated with CPT omission errors.
