Based on the solid findings and key elements of its predecessor, the Conners Rating Scales Revised (CRSR), the Conners 3 offers a more thorough assessment of ADHD. The Conners 3 now addresses comorbid disorders such as oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. Each parent, teacher, and self-report form is available in full-length and short versions.

You will benefit from the following enhancements:

• A large representative normative sample based on the latest U.S. census data
• A refined focus on ADHD in school-age children with a new age range (6 to 18 for parent and teacher scales and 8 to 18 for self-report scales)
• Strengthened Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Fourth Edition (DSM-IV-TR) connections
• Clear applications in education settings that help identify children with clinical symptoms
• A manual that provides step-by-step guidance on how to use the tool in intervention planning and monitoring

As with its predecessor, the new Conners 3 is a multi-informant assessment. Gathering information from parents, teachers and youth provides a view of the childs disorder and concerns from multiple perspectives.

Paper and Pencil Scoring:
All the Conners 3 forms are available in the QuikScore format (Conners 3 Response Forms or Conners 3 Response Short Forms). The rater writes on the external layers of the form and the results transfer through to a hidden scoring grid within the internal layers. The assessor then uses the internal layers for tabulating and profiling results. Tables within the QuikScore form link responses directly to DSM-IV-TR symptoms of ADHD, CD, and ODD. Each Conners QuikScore form includes profile sheets, which are used to easily convert raw scores to standardised T-scores. These profile sheets also produce an easy-to-interpret graphical display of the results.

Alternatively, assessors who wish to use computerised scoring (and not use handscoring), can use the Conners 3 Software Response Booklets. These are available in the full-length form and lists all the Conners 3 items, but does not include the scoring pages. Responses from either type of paper-and-pencil administration can be entered into the Software Scoring program.

Software (USB Key) Scoring:
All the Conners 3 forms can be scored using the scoring software program by entering responses from a completed paper-and-pencil administration into the software. Note that the Conners 3 cannot be administered through the software. The Scoring Software can be installed on an unlimited number of computers; however, the Conners USB Key must always be connected to the USB port of the computer from which you are running the program.

Conners 3 Interpretative Update
Important refinements have been made to the Conners 3 including: (1) Updated Validity scale guidelines with new language to better reflect the intent of the scales; (2) Refined T-score cutoff categories and category descriptions; and (3) The Aggression scale name change to Defiance/Aggression.
