Following the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition™ (DSM-V™) last year, the publishers have issued an update to the Conners 3™. Read more >
The Conners 3rd Edition™ (Conners 3™) is the result of five years of extensive product development and research. Educational psychologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, clinics and child protection agencies can count on the Conners 3 to be a reliable and dependable tool capable of supporting them in the diagnostic and identification process.
Based on the solid findings and key elements of its predecessor, the Conners’ Rating Scales–Revised (CRS–R™), the Conners 3 offers a more thorough assessment of ADHD.
The Conners 3 now addresses comorbid disorders such as oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. Each parent, teacher and self-report form is available in full-length and short versions.

- Strengthened Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Fourth Edition (DSM-IV-TR™) connections

Conners 3 Global Index
The Conners 3 Global Index (Conners 3GI™) is a fast and effective measure of general psychopathology. It includes the 10 best predictive items from the trusted market leader, Conners’ Rating Scales–Revised (CRS–R™), parent and teacher rating scales.
Professionals can rely on the Conners 3GI to carefully measure the general psychopathology of their clients and determine the next steps to take in further examination. The Conners 3GI has proven to be a fast and effective measure and is specifically used in monitoring treatment and intervention.
The Conners 3GI is included in the full-length Conners 3 (for parent, teacher and self-report forms) or can be purchased separately. Spanish versions are available for parent and self-report forms.
Feedback Forms provide parents and teachers and easy to read and understand feedback that summarizes the assessment results.
Progress Reports compare the results of two to four administrations for the same individual to measure changes over time. These reports are ideal to use when monitoring treatment and intervention.
Conners 3 ADHD Index
The Conners 3rd Edition™ offers a 10-item Conners 3 ADHD Index (Conners 3AI™). The items are taken from the Conners 3 full-length form and are the perfect tool when time is limited.
The brief index also works well when you need to screen a large group of children and adolescents to see if further assessment of ADHD is warranted.
Additionally, this form can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment plans, and measure the patient’s response to intervention.
The items were specifically selected for this form and are proven to be the best items in differentiating between youth with ADHD from those without a clinical diagnosis.
The Conners 3AI is included in the full-length Conners 3 or can be purchased separately.
