“…While studies have shown that the prevalence of ADHD can be affected by the observer, the large differences found in this study are not typical. Pierrehumbert et al [8] reported no difference in the prevalence of ADHD symptoms in school-aged Swiss children between parent (8.0%) and teacher (9.6%) evaluations, using the clinical cutoff point for the ADHD index. Erşan et al [10] found no significant difference in ADHD symptoms of school-aged Turkish children, using DSM-IV criteria, based on parent (9.6%) and teacher (7.3%) evaluations.…”

“…Other studies have found relatively low agreement between parents and teachers. For example, the agreement rate was found to be between 0.16 and 0.36 by Satake et al [9] for the Child Behavior Checklist and 0.43 by Pierrehumbert et al [8] using the ADHD index. In summary, our findings suggest a large discrepancy in the prevalence of ADHD symptoms in preschool children based on evaluation by parents or teachers.…”

Objective Clarifying the characteristics of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in childhood is important for the prevention and management of this disorder. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of ADHD symptoms in Japanese preschool children based on evaluations performed by parents or teachers. Methods A questionnaire survey was performed to evaluate the estimated prevalence of ADHD symptoms in preschool children in Niigata City, Japan. The first survey, conducted in 2003, involved an evaluation of ADHD symptoms by their school teachers. The second survey, conducted in 2006, involved an evaluation of the symptoms by parents. The teacher survey included 9,956 children, and the parent survey included 7,566 children. Parents and teachers assessed ADHD symptoms in children using a 14-item questionnaire based on DSM-III-R. Children with a score of 8 or higher were classified as having ADHD symptoms. Results The overall prevalence of ADHD symptoms was 2,349/7,566 (31.1%) in the parent survey and 431/9,956 (4.3%) in the teacher survey, with a prevalence ratio of 7.2 (95% CI: 6.5-7.9). Likelihood ratio test indicated that variables significantly associated with the presence of ADHD symptoms were gender, age, school type, interaction between gender and observer, and interaction between school type and observer (each with P \ 0.0001). ConclusionsThe large difference between the estimated prevalence of ADHD symptoms in Japanese preschool children from teacher and parent surveys suggests that compared to teachers, parents consider their children's symptoms much more serious. Thus, parental evaluation of ADHD symptoms using DSM criteria may be inappropriate for ADHD screening.

Objective: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most frequent neurodevelopmental disorders. Its diagnosis requires reference questionnaires such as the Conners' Parent Rating Scale (CPRS). Presently, in French-speaking countries, a few translations of the revised short CPRS have been put to use without previous formal validation. We sought here for the validation of a French version (Lausanne, Switzerland) of the revised short CPRS regarding construct validity, internal consistency, and item reliability in a sample of French schoolchildren. Method:The study involved 795 children and adolescents aged 9 to 19 years from a single school. The factorial structure and item reliability were assessed with a confirmatory factor analysis for ordered categorical variables. The dimension internal consistency was assessed with Guttman's lambda 6 coefficient. Results: The results confirmed the original and strong 3-dimensional factorial structure (Oppositional, Cognitive Problems/ Inattention, and Hyperactivity), showed satisfactory item reliability, and indicated a good dimension internal consistency (Guttman's lambda 6 coefficient: 0.87, 0.90, and 0.82, respectively, to the 3 dimensions).Conclusions: Thus, the Lausanne French version of the revised short CPRS may be considered validated regarding construct validity and item and dimension reliability; it can be now more confidently used in clinical practice. Abré géObjectif : Le trouble de déficit de l'attention avec hyperactivité (TDAH) est l'un des troubles neurodéveloppementaux les plus fréquents. Son diagnostic nécessite des questionnaires de référence comme le Conners' Parent Rating Scale (CPRS). Un certain nombre de traductions en français du CPRS révisé, version courte, sont utilisés dans les pays francophones sans avoir
