In an effort to reduce disparities in ADHD diagnoses and treatment across cultures, the current study sought to establish initial psychometric and cultural properties of the ADHD-FX: a culturally sensitive assessment measure of functional impairment related to ADHD for diverse families.
Fifty-four Latino parents (44 mothers and 10 fathers) of school-aged children completed the ADHD-FX, as well as several other measures assessing child behavior and parent acculturation.
The ADHD-FX demonstrated adequate reliability (as demonstrated by internal consistency and test-retest reliability), psychometric construct validity (as demonstrated by associations with theoretically related measures), and cultural validity (as demonstrated by or lack of associations with acculturation measures).
Initial psychometric and cultural properties suggest that the ADHD-FX is a reliable, valid, and culturally appropriate measure to assess functional impairment related to ADHD (i.e., difficulties with academic achievement, social competence, and familial relationships) in an at-risk, school-aged population.
为了减少不同文化背景下注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)诊断和治疗的差异,本研究试图建立ADHD-FX的初步心理测量和文化特性:这是一种针对不同家庭,对与ADHD相关的功能损害具有文化敏感性的评估工具。
54名学龄儿童的拉丁裔父母(44名母亲和10名父亲)完成了ADHD-FX以及其他几项评估儿童行为和父母文化适应情况的测量。
ADHD-FX表现出足够的信度(通过内部一致性和重测信度证明)、心理测量结构效度(通过与理论相关测量的关联证明)和文化效度(通过与文化适应测量的关联或缺乏关联证明)。
初步的心理测量和文化特性表明,ADHD-FX是一种可靠、有效且文化上合适的工具,用于评估高危学龄人群中与ADHD相关的功能损害(即学业成绩、社交能力和家庭关系方面的困难)。
