[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in teenagers: appraisal of the EDAH (a) scale].
OBJECTIVE
To appraise the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder assessment scale for a teenage population, EDAH (a).


METHODS
From an initial sample of 3400 participants, a final sample of 2292 pupils between 12 and 16 years of age were finally selected. Of the total number, 1066 were boys (46.5%) and 1226 were girls (53.5%).


CONCLUSIONS
On obtaining significant differences both for age and for sex on the subscales that make up the aforementioned test, assessments were performed taking these variables into account. The cut-off points for each of the subscales are presented and in all cases they were above the 90th percentile.
