Description
Georgios Giannakopoulos and Afroditi Prassou review how well different people agree when they rate ADHD symptoms in teenagers. A sound assessment draws on reports from the teenager, caregivers, teachers, and clinicians. Those reports often match only in part, and the review asks how large the gaps are.
The authors pooled 30 studies covering 282 outcomes in young people aged 10 to 19. Caregiver and teenager ratings lined up modestly, with pooled correlations near 0.33 for inattention and 0.32 for hyperactivity and impulsivity. Caregiver and teacher ratings lined up a bit less, and their ranges included zero. Results varied a lot from study to study. The authors warn that one person's report cannot stand in for another's. They also caution that the pooled values should not be read as fixed levels of agreement.
