About DSM-5 ASRS Screener

The DSM-5 Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener can be used as a starting point to help recognize the signs/symptoms of Adult ADHD.

It is not meant to replace consultation with a trained healthcare professional. An accurate diagnosis can only be made through a careful clinical evaluation.

Regardless of the questionnaire results, if patients have concerns about diagnosis and treatment of Adult ADHD, they must discuss their concerns with their physicians.

The DSM-5 ASRS Screener has 6 questions. The RiskSLIM model is used to score patients' responses to the questionnaire. The RiskSLIM scoring algorithm was developed by NYU School of Medicine in association with the President and Fellows of Harvard College.
