1 Page 1 of 5 DSM-5 criteria for the diagnosis of ADHD emphasize the importance of gathering behavioral information from multiple settings and multiple informants. To accomplish this, standardized ADHD rating scales are recommended as Best Practice by the American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition to ADHD rating scales, DefiniPoint provides a variety of standardized instruments to gather additional behavioral information. This information regarding the individual's functioning and degree of impairment can be helpful to quantify the progress of therapy/treatment and document outcomes. DefiniPoint facilitates Best Practice ADHD assessments consistent with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria which include the evaluation of other emotional/behavioral, developmental, and physical conditions. As such, the information provided by DefiniPoint is not intended to be the sole source of information but rather is part of a comprehensive evaluation. WEISS FUNCTIONAL IMPAIRMENT RATING SCALES (WFIRS) The Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scales assesses symptoms and to what degree an individual's behavior or emotional problems impact various clinically-relevant domains of functioning. Although ADHD symptoms and actual impairment are distinct concepts, it is informative to measure both since some patients are highly symptomatic but not impaired or vice versa. The WFIRS contains items that are most likely to represent the patient's target of treatment and therefore has utility when used to assess treatment efficacy. The WFIRS is designed to determine not only if the ADHD has improved, but if the patient's functional difficulties are also better. The instrument has been translated into 18 languages, used in many studies, and psychometrically validated. The clinical utility of the WFIRS has been demonstrated in multiple clinical studies and described in journal articles since its introduction. SELF REPORT RATING SCALE The Weiss self-report version is appropriate for adolescent and adult report of functional impairment associated with ADHD. It contains 68 items spanning six functional domains: Home Self-Concept Learning & Work Activities of Daily Living Social Activities Risky Activities Validation The scale has been psychometrically validated with an internal consistency >0.8 for each domain and for the scale as a whole. It has moderate convergent validity (0.6) with other measures of functioning (i.e. Columbia Impairment Scale and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). It has moderate discriminating validity (0.4) from symptoms pre-treatment (i.e. ADHD-Rating Scale) and quality of life (CHIP). The domains have been confirmed by factor analysis, although the domain of school functioning separates into learning and behavior. The scale is highly sensitive to change with treatment and, in particular, significantly correlated to change in ADHD symptoms (40% change) and overall psychopathology. Use in Determining Treatment Outcomes This functional impairment rating scale effectively quantifies the level of functioning in relevant domains and can be used to systematically monitor improvements and inform treatment decisions. The WFIRS can be completed in less than 15 minutes, making it ideal to easily gather information on a routine basis.
2 Page 2 of 5 NOTE: The WFIRS does not provide a normalized score or a single probability score and therefore cannot be integrated with other assessment results in DefiniPoint. Scoring and Interpretation Results Any item rating 2 or 3 is considered clinically impaired. Interpretation of results can be accomplished by by utilizing the total score or the mean score for each domain, omitting those rated not applicable. For clinical purposes, when defining impairment for DSM-IV, clinicians can consider that any domain with at least two items scored 2, one item scored 3 or a mean score >1.5 is impaired. Each anchor point on the Likert scale represents approximately one standard deviation (SD). A total score change of 13 would be considered a significant improvement or about half a SD. The change obtained in treatment is typically one full SD. The mean score for risky behavior in children is 0.5 but increases with age. For adolescents the mean score is 1. Tabular results for Bill Smith are shown below and organized by domain. Domain Number Average Total scored 2 or 3 A. Family B. Work C. School D. Life Skills E. Self Concept F. Social G.
