Background:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is frequently diagnosed concurrently with a personality disorder (PD) in adulthood. Both are trait-like chronic disorders with substantial similarities.
Aim:
To measure the accuracy of the International Personality Disorder Examination screening questionnaire (IPDE-SQ) in identifying ADHD in adults from a psychiatric population.
Method:
Participants (n = 119) from mental health services completed an ADHD interview and the IPDE-SQ.
Main Results:
Although many IPDE-SQ subscales demonstrated good sensitivity in identifying ADHD, a potential 11-item scale from IPDE-SQ components had excellent sensitivity (84%) and specificity (82%).
Conclusions:
An 11-item subscale from the IPDE-SQ shows potential as a screening instrument for ADHD in an adult psychiatric population.
