To develop and evaluate a questionnaire, the ADHD Impact Module for Adults (AIM-A), to dimension quality of life for adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Six multi-item AIM scales were developed and evaluated in 317 participants enrolled in an open-label trial. Multitrait scaling analysis and correlations between the AIM-A and the ADHD Rating Scale were evaluated. Differences in scale scores based on severity (clinician rated), subtype, previous medication experience, and sensitivity to change were examined, and F statistics were compared for the AIM-A and the ADHD Rating Scale.
100-80% scaling successes were observed for the AIM-A scales. Alpha coefficients were >or=.83. Significant correlations were observed (range: .494 to .200). The AIM-A discriminated based on severity, subtype, and medication experience (p <or= .01) and was sensitive to change (n = 23, p <or= .001).
Psychometric findings are encouraging. Future efforts will examine validity and responsiveness in larger clinical samples with different therapeutic interventions.
开发并评估一份问卷，即成人注意力缺陷多动障碍影响模块（AIM - A），用于衡量成人注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）患者的生活质量维度。
在一项开放标签试验的317名参与者中开发并评估了六个多项目的AIM量表。评估了多特质量表分析以及AIM - A与ADHD评定量表之间的相关性。检查了基于严重程度（临床医生评定）、亚型、既往用药经验和变化敏感性的量表得分差异，并比较了AIM - A和ADHD评定量表的F统计量。
AIM - A量表观察到100 - 80%的量表成功情况。阿尔法系数大于或等于0.83。观察到显著相关性（范围：0.494至0.200）。AIM - A基于严重程度、亚型和用药经验进行区分（p≤0.01），并且对变化敏感（n = 23，p≤0.001）。
心理测量学结果令人鼓舞。未来的工作将在接受不同治疗干预的更大临床样本中检验有效性和反应性。
