ADHD Symptoms In National Samples Of Turkish Adolescents: Self, Parent, And Teacher Reports

Abstract

This study examined the correspondence among child, parent and teacher reports, in rating ADHD symptoms of 937 community children aged 15-18. Correlations between raters, especially parents-teachers and teachers-adolescents, were in the low range. In contrast, parent-adolescent concordance was greater than the other two informant correspondence. Informant correspondence was higher for cognitive/inattentive problems than hyperactivity problems.
