Conners 3rd Edition™ (Conners 3™) DSM-5 Update C. Keith Conners
Overview The Conners 3rd Edition™ (Conners 3™), a revision of the Conners’ Rating Scales–Revised (CRS–R; Conners, 1997), included a number of new features. One of these new features was direct links between scale content on the full-length forms (i.e., Conners 3–Parent [Conners 3–P], Conners 3 –Teacher [Conners 3–T], and Conners 3–Self-Report [Conners 3–SR]) and symptom criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000), for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and its most common comorbid disorders, Conduct Disorder (CD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). A new edition of the DSM was released in May, 2013: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5; APA, 2013). Accordingly, a review of the Conners 3 Manual and associated materials, including the fulllength QuikScore™ forms, the Conners 3 Software Program, and online components (e.g., the Assessment, Progress, and Comparative Reports) was undertaken in order to determine the changes required to scoring and interpretation. This update outlines the revisions to symptom criteria for ADHD, CD, and ODD made in the DSM-5, as well as any changes made to forms, scoring, and interpretative considerations in the Conners 3. Much of what is required for administration, scoring, and interpretation of this assessment is still found in the Conners 3 Manual. The main computerized scoring update to the Conners 3 assessment is a report option featuring DSM-5 scoring. Correspondingly, for hand-scoring, DSM Symptom Scales on the Conners 3 QuikScore forms are updated with DSM-5 criteria. The DSM-5 scoring option incorporates the following: i.
An update to the ADHD Symptom Count for 17- to 18-year-olds;
ii. An amendment to the order of ODD Criterion A symptoms; and iii. A change to the symptom count requirements on the self-report form for ODD Criterion A8 (Note: symptom count requirements on the parent and teacher forms were not impacted by the modification to Criterion A8).
Any revisions or additions to interpretative considerations in the Conners 3 Manual and Assessment Reports (see Appendix E, Scoring DSM-IV-TR Symptom Scales in the Conners 3 Manual) are outlined in this update and printed in bold below Tables 1a through 3 (Note: The original interpretative considerations are included in this update to facilitate scoring and interpretation of the DSM-5 Symptom Scales). Further, interpretative considerations appear where relevant as notes in the Assessment Reports.
Changes to the Conners 3 Corresponding to DSM Criteria Updates Conners 3 DSM Scales are comprised of items that approximate symptom-level criteria from the DSM; full diagnostic criteria (e.g., course, age of onset, differential diagnosis, level of impairment, and pervasiveness) are not represented. (See the DSM-5 for full diagnostic criteria.) The itemized list of changes provided in this update details only those changes in the DSM-5 to ADHD, CD, and ODD symptom criteria that are measured, scored, and interpreted on the Conners 3. (Note: None of the changes to diagnostic criteria for CD impact scoring or interpretation of the Conners 3.) Only the Conners 3 full-length forms include the DSM-IV-TR Symptom Scales. As a result, any changes to scoring involve only the Conners 3 full-length forms (i.e., Conners 3–Parent [Conners 3–P], Conners 3–Teacher [Conners 3–T], and Conners 3–Self-Report [Conners 3–SR]). These can be scored by hand, software, or online (see the Conners 3 Manual for further information about scoring). For handscoring, the DSM Symptom Scales on the Conners 3 QuikScore forms are updated with DSM-5 criteria. With respect to computerized scoring, a DSM scoring option is now included that allows the assessor to choose either DSM-IV-TR scoring or DSM-5 scoring: • Reports produced using the DSM-IV-TR scoring option are identical to the original Conners 3 reports.

Conners 3rd Edition™ (Conners 3™)
Interpretative Considerations:
• Reports produced using the DSM-5 scoring option include DSM-5 Symptom Counts and interpretative considerations.
• Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive, and Combined subtypes were reclassified as presentations in the DSM‑5.
ADHD The following is a list of changes made in the DSM-5 to the diagnostic criteria for ADHD that required corresponding updates to the Conners 3 assessment. Tables 1a and 1b show the DSM-5 criteria for ADHD, the associated Conners 3 form items, and the response choices for when symptoms are Indicated, May be Indicated, or Not Indicated.

• The names of the Conners 3 DSM Scales for ADHD were updated to reflect this reclassification.
• A statement was added in the DSM-5 to the pre-amble for both ADHD Predominantly Inattentive Presentation (Criterion A1) and ADHD Predominantly HyperactiveImpulsive Presentation (Criterion A2) that explicitly Student's Name/ID: ___________________________ requires the diagnostician to rule out “oppositional behavior, defiance, hostility, or failure to understand Gender: M F Teacher's Name/ID: ____________ (Circle One) tasks or instructions,” as the primary causes of ADHD symptoms.

Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, at work, or during other activities (e.g., overlooks or misses details, work is inaccurate).
Often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities (e.g., has difficulty remaining focused during lectures, conversations, or lengthy reading).
Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly (e.g., mind seems elsewhere, even in the absence of any obvious distraction).

Criterion A1h states that in older adolescents, the tendency to be easily distracted by extraneous stimuli may include unrelated thoughts as the source of distraction. Follow-up is recommended to check if Criterion A1h has been met for older adolescents.
ADHD Criterion A states that symptoms are not solely a manifestation of oppositional behavior, defiance, hostility, or failure to understand tasks or instructions. If the Symptom Count is probably met for ADHD Predominantly Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive, or Combined Presentation, follow-up is recommended to ensure this requirement is satisfied.
Interpretative Considerations:
The following response key applies to the criterion status score requirements noted in the Indicated, May be Indicated, and Not Indicated columns: 0 = Not true at all (Never, Seldom); 1 = Just a little true (Occasionally); 2 = Pretty much true (Often, Quite a bit); 3 = Very much true (Very often, Very frequently).

Interpretative Considerations: a The Conners 3–SR does not assess Criterion A7 (forced sexual activity) due to the sensitive nature of this criterion. b If both Criterion A8 (fire setting) and A9 (destruction of property) are indicated, in order to meet Criterion A9, the assessor must confirm that property was destroyed other than by fire-setting. c The Conners 3–T does not assess Criterion A13 (staying out at night without permission) or Criterion A14 (running away from home), as teachers generally would not be directly aware of these infractions. d In order for DSM-5 Criterion A13 (staying out at night) to be indicated, the assessor needs to ensure this criterion occurred before the age of 13 years. e In order for DSM-5 Criterion A15 (truancy) to be indicated, the assessor must ensure that the truancy occurred before the age of 13 years.
