This study assesses planning skills of adolescents with ADHD using a multi-method assessment and explores subtype differences between inattentive and combined subtypes.
One hundred fifteen adolescents with ADHD and 34 typically developing controls completed subtests of the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS), Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS), and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF).
No group differences were found on the D-KEFS. The BADS Zoo Map test showed longer completion times in the inattentive than in the combined subtype and controls. The BRIEF showed more planning problems in adolescents with ADHD (both subtypes) than in controls, with the combined subtype showing most problems on overall executive functioning.
Only a proportion of adolescents with ADHD shows planning deficits. To capture these planning problems in adolescents with ADHD, it seems important to use multiple measures of planning, both ratings and "less structured" neurocognitive measures of planning.
本研究采用多方法评估评估 ADHD 青少年的计划技能，并探讨注意力不集中型和混合型亚型之间的亚型差异。
115 名 ADHD 青少年和 34 名典型对照组完成了 Delis-Kaplan 执行功能系统（D-KEFS）、行为评估的执行功能障碍量表（BADS）和行为评定量表的执行功能（BRIEF）的子测试。
D-KEFS 组间无差异。BADS 动物园地图测试显示，注意力不集中型的完成时间长于混合型和对照组。BRIEF 显示 ADHD 青少年（两种亚型）的计划问题多于对照组，混合型在整体执行功能方面表现出最多的问题。
只有一部分 ADHD 青少年表现出计划缺陷。为了在 ADHD 青少年中捕捉到这些计划问题，似乎需要使用多种计划措施，包括评分和“非结构化”神经认知计划措施。
