When assessing adult ADHD, self-report measures are commonly used to guide clinical diagnosis. Self-report measures may be broadband covering a range of behaviors or narrowband and specific to symptoms associated with ADHD. This study examined the results of broadband and narrowband measures for college students referred for evaluation of ADHD at a university clinic. With consideration of diagnosis, which included additional information, the group of students who received a diagnosis of ADHD differed significantly from those who did not receive an ADHD diagnosis only on the symptom sets associated with ADHD for both the broadband and narrowband. At the same time, for the total sample, significant correlations emerged for ADHD symptoms with social stress, anxiety, and sense of inadequacy. This suggests the need for consideration of alternative or co-occurring factors influencing symptom presentation and functional impairment.
在评估成人注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）时，通常使用自我报告量表来指导临床诊断。自我报告量表可以是宽带的，涵盖一系列行为，也可以是窄带的，专门针对与 ADHD 相关的症状。本研究考察了在大学诊所接受 ADHD 评估的大学生中，宽带和窄带测量结果。考虑到诊断，包括其他信息，仅在与 ADHD 相关的症状量表上，被诊断为 ADHD 的学生群体与未被诊断为 ADHD 的学生群体有显著差异，无论是宽带还是窄带。同时，对于整个样本，ADHD 症状与社会压力、焦虑和不适应感之间存在显著相关性。这表明需要考虑影响症状表现和功能障碍的其他或同时存在的因素。
