How to interpret Vanderbilt score?

Scores of 2 or 3 on a single symptom question reflect often-occurring behaviors. Scores of 4 or 5 on performance questions reflect problems in performance. The initial assessment scales, parent and teacher, have 2 components: symptom assessment and impairment in performance.

How do I interpret the Vanderbilt results?

To meet DSM-5 criteria for the diagnosis, one must have at least 6 positive responses to the inattentive 9 or hyperactive 9 core symptoms, or both. A positive response is a 2 or 3 (often, very often) (you could draw a line straight down the page and count the positive answers in each subsegment).

What Vanderbilt score indicates ADHD?

In adolescents, an ADHD-RS-5 score of 34 (1139) linked with moderately ill, 44 (4050) linked with markedly ill, and 52 (5154) linked with severely or extremely ill.

What does an ADHD score of 44/50 mean?

These scales should NOT be used alone to make any diag- nosis. You must take into consideration information from multiple sources. Scores of 2 or 3 on a single Symptom question reflect often-occurring behaviors. Scores of 4 or 5 on Performance questions reflect problems in performance.

What is considered a normal Vanderbilt score?

You must take into consideration information from multiple sources. Scores of 2 or 3 on a single Symptom question reflect often-occurring behaviors. Scores of 4 or 5 on Performance questions reflect problems in performance.
