    I was wondering if any of you lot had any info on Conners’ Rating Scales-Revised or if you could point me in the right direction please.
    Thus far my googlefu has been turning up a lot of worrying things about it.
    I do think the questionaire is skewed and I was looking for information on it and it's validity and how prevlent it's use is in this country.

    I had a quick flick on PsychInfo and couldn't turn up anything related to its use in Ireland. What exactly are you looking for?

    I can't manage to link this, so the review from Buros is below:

    Conner's Rating Scales used assess behavioural problems with children and adolescents (including ADHD), specifically the CTRS-R or CPRS-R?

    See abstract: Helton, S.C., et al. (2005), Factor Analysis and Validity of the Conners Parent and Teacher Rating Scales in Childhood Cancer Survivors, J. Pediatric Psychology. Link.

    Validity was assessed, as was replication of analytic methods (Conners used a factor analysis when revising his scales), but as with most of these studies, they selected a North American population with a small sample size (n=150), so representativeness and generalisability may be problematic (especially cross-culturally to our Irish population)?
