Evaluating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder using multiple informants: the incremental utility of combining teacher with parent reports
Article Abstract:
The Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity factors of the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Rating Scale-IV were used to predict diagnostic status of children with ADHD. Analyses indicated that the Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity factors differentiated students with ADHD from those with no symptoms and distinguished children with different ADHD subtypes. It was demonstrated that a single informant approach was best suited for ruling out ADHD.

Retrospective ratings of ADHD symptoms made at young adulthood by clinic-referred boys with ADHD-related problems, their brothers without ADHD, and control participants
Article Abstract:
The degree to which psychiatric findings are dependent on informants' description of themselves and others is illustrated. Findings illustrate differences between proband's self-ratings of their brothers without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-related problems (ADHD-RPS) and school controls, and they indicate that childhood symptoms are related stably by probands across time.
