Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Adolescent School Children.

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was estimated in 500 adolescents using Conners’ parents and teachers rating scales. Thirty six (7.2%) adolescents had positive scores on both the scales. The parents and teachers also completed a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV based questionnaire which showed good agreement with Conners’ rating scales.
