Adult ADHD Self Report Scale for DSM 5 (ASRS-5)
What is the ASRS-5?
The ASRS5 is a self report questionnaire designed to assess symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults. It consists of 6 questions related to symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. The ASRS5 is an updated version of the ASRSv1.1.
How are ASRS-5 scores interpreted?
-
A score of 14 and above suggests a presence of ADHD
-
A score below 14 suggests an absence of ADHD
-
The ASRS-5’s sensitivity is highly positive at 91.4%
-
It is important to note that the ASRS-5 is only a screening instrument to help with the assessment process and an accurate diagnosis of ADHD can only be made by a qualified specialist
