We appreciate that Rimvall et al. read our latest article with interest. Early and accurate screening of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is important for the remediation of the disorder. Clinicians' lack of time has been identified as a barrier to screening for behavioral disorders. A short screener such as the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) hyperactivity-inattention (HI) subscale holds the potential to improve detection of ADHD in preschoolers. Rimvall et al. make the point that diagnosing children with ADHD requires a broader assessment that includes information from parents, teachers, and the child. We agree, except to say that 3-year-old children are too young to provide information.
我们感谢 Rimvall 等人对我们的最新文章感兴趣并进行了阅读。早期、准确地筛查注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)对于该障碍的矫正很重要。临床医生时间不足被认为是筛查行为障碍的一个障碍。简短的筛查工具,如长处和困难问卷(SDQ)多动-注意力不集中(HI)分量表,有可能提高对学龄前儿童 ADHD 的检出率。Rimvall 等人指出,诊断 ADHD 患儿需要更广泛的评估,包括来自家长、教师和孩子的信息。我们同意这一点,但需要指出的是,3 岁的儿童太小,无法提供信息。
