A-DES
Adolescent Dissociative Experiences Scale (A-DES)
The A-DES is a self-report tool designed to detect and quantify dissociative experiences in adolescents. It identifies both the frequency and the nature of dissociative symptoms, which can be useful for initial screening during a psychological assessment or for clinical follow-up. Its version adapted for adolescents takes into account the developmental characteristics of this population.

Scoring & interpretation
Respondents indicate on a scale from 0 to 10 how often they have had each experience described. The item scores are summed, then divided by the total number of items to obtain a mean score. A high score suggests significant dissociative symptomatology and the need for an in-depth clinical evaluation.
