Abstract
To examine and compare the psychometric properties of two short screening instruments for children and adolescents suffering from attention deficit-/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The Conners’ Hyperactivity Index consists of ten items that assess symptoms of hyperactivity through self-report and parents’ proxy. The German ADHD Rating scale (FBB-HKS/ADHS) consists of 20 items that assess the severity and perceived burden of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness as defined by the ICD-10 and DSM-IV.Keywords
