Diagnostic Instability of DSM-IV ADHD Subtypes: Effects of Informant Source, Instrumentation, and Methods for Combining Symptom Reports / Shana VALO in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 39-6 (November-December 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology > 39-6 (November-December 2010) . - p.749-760 Titre : Diagnostic Instability of DSM-IV ADHD Subtypes: Effects of Informant Source, Instrumentation, and Methods for Combining Symptom Reports Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Shana VALO, Auteur ; Rosemary TANNOCK, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.749-760 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Using data from 123 children (aged 6-12 years) referred consecutively to a pediatric neuropsychiatry clinic by community physicians for assessment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and related problems, we investigated the effects of informant (parent, teacher), tool (interview, rating scale), and method for combining symptom reports (“and,” “or” algorithms), on the diagnosis of ADHD and its subtypes. Results indicated that as many as 50% of cases were reclassified from one subtype to another, depending on whether information was derived from one or two informants, a semistructured clinical interview and/or rating scale, and the algorithm used to combine informant reports. We conclude that the diagnosis of DSM-IV ADHD subtypes is capricious in that it is influenced by clinicians' decisions regarding informants, instrumentation, and method for aggregating information across informants and instruments.
