Doctors Get New Screening Tool for ADHD in Adults, Online and Updated for DSM 5
Mar 4, 2019
Clinicians can now screen for ADHD in Adults in their offices with a new online tool, the ADHD Screener Online. Supported by the latest diagnostic criteria, an educational program, and online technology, this offering from ADHD in Adults brings improved outcomes for patients.
Las Vegas, United States - March 4, 2019 /PressCable/ —
The technology for screening for ADHD in adults is getting a significant upgrade effective today.
Since 2005, primary care doctors and psychiatrists have used the Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Version 1.1 screener to find out if adult patients should be evaluated for a diagnosis of ADHD. The screener conformed to the Fourth version of the American Psychiatric Association s (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual which outlined the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis.
In 2013, the DSM 5 was published with updated diagnostic criteria for ADHD based on new research and a wealth of information about ADHD.
However, the ASRS V1.1 screener has remained unchanged since 2005 . until today.
ADHD in Adults is proud to announce the release of a new ADHD online screener updated for DSM 5 criteria. Clinicians are provided free access to the screener after they complete a brief, free educational program.
Office staff can easily administer the new 6-question online screener by clicking one of five frequency choices for each symptom. The screener identifies people who are at risk for adult ADHD and merit further evaluation. The screener does not provide a diagnosis by itself. People who screen positive should be evaluated by a licensed health professional to determine if they meet criteria for the diagnosis.
To use the new ADHD online screener, clinicians and office staff must first complete two hours of ADHD CME training on the use of the new screener, detailing its science, proper use for screening, and follow-up monitoring.
The ASRS screener was developed by Lenard A. Adler, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the NYU School of Medicine, and the Director of the Adult ADHD Program at NYU Langone Health, and Ronald C. Kessler, PhD, the McNeil Family Professor of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School.
