The CPRS-R:S has 27 items to be completed by the parent to assess behavioral problems related to ADHD. Individual item scores range from 0 (not at all true/never/seldom: lowest impairment) to 3 (very much true/very often/very frequent: highest impairment). The total score is calculated as the sum of all items. Total scores range from 0 to 81.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 12 weeks

Population: Intention to Treat analysis. Last observation carried forward.

Parent-rated assessment of a child's health status and level of functioning. It consists of 76 items. The majority of items assess frequency of activities or feelings using a five-point response format (for example, 'how good is your child at making friends?' 1=never, 5=always). Standard scores (t-value) were established, with all domains and subdomains having a mean score of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Standard scores are expressed in standard deviation units. T-score=\[(Score-4.2382)\*10/0.32835\]+50. Higher scores mean improvement.
