[ADHD screening in alcohol dependent subjects : Psychometric characteristics of ADHD self-report scale and Wender Utah Rating Scale short form].

CONCLUSION: The ADHD-SR is a suitable instrument for routine screening of ADHD in alcohol dependent patients. To improve sensitivity, a lower cut-off (≥15) should be applied. The WURS-k as a single screening instrument cannot be recommended in alcohol dependent patients. If a higher sensitivity is desired, a combination of ADHD-SR and WURS-k is feasible.
