Abstract

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) among children and adolescents are frequent, and ADHD in childhood or adolescence often predicts mental health problems in adulthood. The Global Index of the well-established Conners Scales is used in clinical routine and research to screen for symptoms of ADHD and additional mental health problems in children and adolescents. The present study offers a psychometric analysis and provides norm values for a parent- and a self-report German version of the Global Index based on data of adolescents from the general population (aged 13 - 17 years; N = 967). Results showed good internal consistency and acceptable to good convergent validity for the Global Index as well as for its subscale Restless-Impulsive for both versions, but results for the scale Emotional Lability were not satisfactory. Moreover, the factor structure of the Global Index needs further investigation and the three-item subscale Emotional Lability should be interpreted with caution. Findings of this study should not be generalized for children and adolescents outside the investigated age rage.
