We have had many requests from people who want to post the ADHD-ASRS v1.1 instruments on their websites. Our preference would be that you link to this website and to our PDF of the instrument. This is because we are unable to coordinate with other sites in order to provide updates to the new methodological evidence about the instrument as it becomes available. However, these updates will be available from this site.
If you find it necessary to recreate the ADHD-ASRS v1.1 either in paper or electronic format, it is important that the instrument is not altered (i.e., that all the response options are included, that the scoring algorithm is not altered, and that the two levels of shading within the response categories are included).
If you would like to participate in cultural validation studies or if you have any questions, please contact hoffnagl@hcp.med.harvard.edu
