Although Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been considered as the disorder occurring during childhood, the prevalence is increasing among adolescents and adults. The prevalence rate varies from 2.0 to 14.3% due to the difference of diagnostic criteria, different assessment methods, or subjects´ age difference. Therefore, it needs to make age specific (i.e., for children, for adolescents, and for adults) assessment tools.
Authors translated Conners-Wells Adolescents Self-Report Scales (short form) [CASS (S) ] in to Korean to get validity and reliability as a way of development of assessment tool for adolescent with ADHD in Korea. CASS(S) was translated and corrtected by three psychiatrists and one clinical psychologist. To examine the concurrent validity and test-retest validity, CASS (S) was applied with K-YSR on one class of each grade in a middle school in Seoul with two week interval (total 115 = male 58, female 57) . To test validity, authors analysed and got Cronbach´s as internal consistency. Construct validity was done by principal axis factor analysis on 4,354 students.
As a result, Cronbach´s alpha for internal consistency was .88, Pearson coefficient for test-retest reliability .83, and coefficient for concurrent validity .65. And in the factor analysis to examine construct validity, three factors were revealed as cognition, hyperactivity, and conduct. These results shows that CASS (S) may be useful tool for adolescents with ADHD, although there was a limit not to be done the comparison with clinical groups.
