ADD (ADHD) Self-report Questionnaire for Teenage Girls

Kathleen G. Nadeau, Ph.D. and Patricia Quinn, M.D.

This screening tool should not be used for the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD / ADHD). This self-report questionnaire is intended to be completed by teenage girls who are concerned about possible ADD (ADHD). While most teenage girls would check some items on this list, when a majority of items are checked a professional evaluation for ADD (ADHD) may be advisable.

Please place a check mark beside the each item that you feel describes you.
