Data were<br>analyzed by using frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation (SD),<br>correlation coefficient (r), sensitivity and specificity to determine the criterion validity<br>by 2x2 tables.<br>Results : There were 207 new patients including child and adolescent (71% of boys<br>and 29% of girls) who were diagnosed by child and adolescent psychiatrists; of which<br>64, 52 and 84 were for patients with ADHD with comorbid disorders, pure ADHD and<br>non ADHD. Mean age was 10.36 years old. When THASS-self report version was used<br>separately, the result was not correlated with the final diagnosis but parent’s report and<br>teacher’s report of ADHD patients with comorbid disorders were correlated with the<br>final diagnosis provided by child and adolescent psychiatrists (p-value < .05). When<br>combined self-report, parent’s report and teacher’s report altogether, THASS showed<br>a good sensitivity (0.82) and specificity (0.93).<br>Conclusion : When combined self-report, parent’s report and teacher’s report altogether,<br>THASS showed a good sensitivity and specificity which confirmed that THASS is a valid<br>and reliable screening questionnaire for ADHD with or without comorbid disorders.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Journal of the Psychiatric Association of Thailand}, author={Chanpen, Sirinda and Pornnoppadol, Chanvit and Atsariyasing, Wanlop and Hosiri, Tikumporn}, year={2018}, month={Sep.}, pages={213–226} }
