title: Conners' Teacher's Rating Scale--a validity study in Hong Kong.
abstract: The validity of the Conners' teacher's rating scale (CTRS) in Hong Kong Chinese school children was examined. It was found that CTRS could significantly differentiate a behaviorally deviant group and the normal population; that CTRS has a strong positive correlation with the teacher's decision to refer a child to a mental health professional; that the CTRS by itself is not useful as a diagnostic instrument; and finally, it cannot stand alone as a screening instrument in the epidemiological study of childhood hyperactivity.
