Entering Conners 4 Scores

The Conners 4th Edition (Conners 4™) was designed to measure symptoms of and impairments associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as common co-occurring problems and disorders in youth aged 6 to 18 years. The Conners 4 is a revision of the Conners 3rd Edition™ (Conners 3®; Conners, 2008). In addition to retaining and updating key content from the Conners 3, the Conners 4 includes several new and updated features.

The Conners 4 has been designed to gather information from multiple sources, including one or more parents/guardians (using the Conners 4 Parent form), one or more teachers (using the Conners 4 Teacher form), and the youth themself (using the Conners 4 Self-Report). Parents and teachers can rate a child or student aged 6 to 18 years, whereas the youth self-report is available for youth aged 8 to 18 years. Wherever possible, the scales across the Conners 4 Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report are aligned with each other to facilitate the comparison of information across informants.

Things to note:

The Conners 4 is available in three lengths: full-length (109–118 items), Short (49–53 items), and a 12-item ADHD Index.
The Conners 4 Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report forms are available in English, U.S. Spanish, and French-Canadian.

For Conners 4, there is an Overview tab, and an Item Entry tab where an examinee’s item responses may be entered or reviewed.
