Complete the WHO Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Part A screener. This 6-question tool helps identify adults who may benefit from a full ADHD evaluation.
This is a screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. It does not replace professional evaluation. Your responses are not stored or transmitted — all processing happens locally in your browser.
The ASRS-v1.1 (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale) was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The Part A screener consists of 6 questions that are the most predictive of ADHD symptoms in adults.
For each question, indicate how often you have experienced the described behaviour over the past 6 months. Different questions have different scoring thresholds based on clinical research.
This screening takes approximately 2 minutes to complete.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects approximately 2.5-4% of adults worldwide. Contrary to popular belief, ADHD is not just a childhood condition — research shows that 60-70% of children with ADHD continue to experience significant symptoms into adulthood.
Adult ADHD manifests differently than in children. Adults may experience difficulty with organisation, time management, prioritisation, and emotional regulation rather than overt hyperactivity. Many adults are not diagnosed until later in life, particularly women. Effective treatments include stimulant and non-stimulant medications, cognitive-behavioural therapy, ADHD coaching, and environmental modifications.
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with researchers. The Part A screener consists of 6 questions that are the most predictive of ADHD symptoms. It is designed as an initial screening tool to help identify adults who may benefit from a full ADHD evaluation.
Yes. ADHD is not just a childhood condition. Research shows that approximately 60-70% of children with ADHD continue to experience symptoms into adulthood. Adult ADHD affects an estimated 2.5-4% of the global adult population. It can significantly impact work performance, relationships, and quality of life. Many adults are diagnosed later in life, particularly women who may have been overlooked in childhood.
A positive screening result means further professional evaluation is recommended, not that you definitely have ADHD. A comprehensive evaluation typically includes a detailed clinical interview, review of childhood and current symptoms, assessment of functional impairment, and ruling out other conditions. Treatment options include medication (stimulants and non-stimulants), cognitive-behavioural therapy, coaching, and organisational strategies.
