Scoring & interpretation
Each item is scored from 0 (never) to 3 (very often). A cutoff score is determined for each subscale (inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, conduct disorder). Interpretation is based on the number of symptoms reaching the minimum required frequency, in accordance with DSM-5 criteria.
