Description
The Conners 4th Edition (Conners 4) is a revision of a measure for youth ADHD symptoms, associated features, and functional impairments. Normative samples were collected to reflect the general population of U.S. and Canada, and normative scores were calculated based on age and gender. Its psychometric properties were explored; strong evidence is provided for reliability (internal consistency and test–retest reliability), validity (internal structure and differences among clinical groups), and fairness (minimal differences among demographic groups).
