“…however, the retrospective recall of symptoms from childhood may be inaccurate (Mannuzza et al 2002). As such, those studies that have employed clinical interviews may provide a more accurate representation of prevalence.…”

There is increasing evidence suggesting a link between ADHD and criminality, including a strong association between ADHD symptoms and the likelihood of being on probation or in prison. Most studies investigating the prevalence of ADHD in prison populations have focused on adult male offenders. In the current study, 69 female prisoners were screened for both childhood and adult ADHD symptoms using the Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale -IV (BAARS-IV). The results indicate that 41% of the prisoners met the diagnostic criteria for ADHD in childhood, and continued to meet criteria for ADHD as adults. More importantly young female prisoners (aged 18-25) were significantly more likely to report symptoms of ADHD than older prisoners. Prisoners who reported symptoms of ADHD also reported high levels of impairment associated with these symptoms. A better understanding of the prevalence of ADHD in female prison units can highlight specific areas for ADHD in Female Prisoners 2 intervention during rehabilitation, as well as the management of serious incidents within prison.

“…36,29 It is also highly heritable 12,11 and does not appear to be subject to rater contrast effects. These findings together with the general benefits from using multiple raters provide a compelling argument for using both mother and teacher reports to generate a diagnosis of ADHD in molecular genetic studies.…”

Refining the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder phenotype for molecular genetic studies

et al. 2006

It is well established that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a familial and highly heritable disorder. Consequently, much effort is being directed towards searching for specific susceptibility genes. There is a growing trend, across the field of complex disease genetics, towards undertaking secondary analyses based on refined phenotypic definitions and in testing whether specific susceptibility genes modify the phenotypic presentation of the disorder in question. It is crucial that good, empirically derived arguments are made before undertaking multiple analyses on different phenotype refinements. In this review article, we consider the evidence from genetic epidemiological studies as well as key clinical studies that provide guidance on examining the ADHD phenotype for the purpose of molecular genetic studies. Specifically, findings on categorical versus dimensional conceptualisations of ADHD, reporter effects, comorbidity, ADHD subtypes and persistence are reviewed. Current evidence suggests that for the purpose of identifying susceptibility genes for ADHD, parent and teachers should be used as informants and that focusing on the clinical diagnosis of ADHD is useful. There is also good empirical support in favour of examining antisocial behaviour in ADHD. Genetic studies of dimensional ADHD are useful for other complementary purposes.

Interrater reliability for diagnosis in adults of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant disorder using K-SADS-EABSTRACT -The diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) in adults lacks adequate assessment instruments. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the interrater reliability of the sections of K-SADS-E adapted for the diagnosis of these disorders among adults. The adaptations were limited to asking questions directly to the patient, investigation of a later onset of symptoms, and asking for adult specific symptoms. Six trained raters scored 16 recorded interviews. Kappa c o e fficients were 1.00 for ADHD diagnosis in the past, 0.91 for subtype in the past, 1.00 for ADHD diagnosis in the present, 0.95 for subtype in the present, 1.00 and 0.89 for ODD diagnosis in the past and present, respectively (all with p<0.001). These results reveal excellent agreement for the ADHD and ODD diagnosis in adults using the adapted form of the Portuguese version of K-SADS-E.KEY WORDS: K-SADS-E, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, adults, interrater reliability.
