The Adult Self-Report Scale is used as an apparatus to measure the level of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) for curing the patients with Seeking Substance Use Disorders (SUD). ADHD can exist when humans become adults and it has evident influence on the personal life of a person. The ASRS (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale) is a specification consisting of 18 questions related to indications that are related to the diagnostic criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual -IV (DSM-IV). The person is supposed to give the answers and a positive score recommends the necessity for a detailed medical assessment with the physicians and doctors.
The reason for the test is to carry out the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale V1.1(ASRS) for checking the ADHD in adults. It is considered a renowned method of curing the SUD patients.

The different scoring methods; and many outbound situations, such as those inclusive of ADHD in adults. It is also done to assess the bipolar disorder, disruptive and antisocial behavior. Furthermore, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is also taken into consideration.
The Scale actually involves a small list which is filled up in less time. It does not require too much time. However, it has been made to give the scoring as soon as possible. There will be no numerical calculations needed. The initial six indications are considered as extremely significant. Thus, a screening test has been developed to answer those queries.
It is able to identify ADHD in adults. The total positive predictive value (PPV) of the ASRS is found, the negative predictive value (NPV) is also discovered. The reactivity and precision are checked on when the patient is admitted and it is also checked after the 2 weeks of being admitted. The reactivity was usually same, but precision is not the same in the patients who consume alcohol upon comparison with those who consume illegal drugs. The ASRS is not a decent screening test for outbound conditions other than ADHD.
