目的：为了减少ADHD诊断和治疗在不同文化中的差异，目前的研究试图建立ADHD-FX的初始心理测量和文化特性：一种对不同家庭ADHD相关功能障碍的文化敏感的评估措施。方法：54名拉丁裔学龄儿童的父母（44名母亲和10名父亲）完成了ADHD-FX，以及其他几项评估儿童行为和父母文化适应的措施。结果如下：ADHD-FX表现出足够的可靠性（如内部一致性和重测信度所示），心理测量结构效度（如与理论相关措施的关联所示）和文化效度（如与文化适应措施的关联或缺乏）。结论：最初的心理测量和文化特性表明，ADHD-FX是一种可靠、有效和文化上适当的措施，可以评估与ADHD相关的功能障碍（即，学习成绩、社会能力和家庭关系方面的困难）。
Objective: In an effort to reduce disparities in ADHD diagnoses and treatment across cultures, the current study sought to establish initial psychometric and cultural properties of the ADHD-FX: a culturally sensitive assessment measure of functional impairment related to ADHD for diverse families. Method: Fifty-four Latino parents (44 mothers and 10 fathers) of school-aged children completed the ADHD-FX, as well as several other measures assessing child behavior and parent acculturation. Results: The ADHD-FX demonstrated adequate reliability (as demonstrated by internal consistency and test-retest reliability), psychometric construct validity (as demonstrated by associations with theoretically related measures), and cultural validity (as demonstrated by or lack of associations with acculturation measures). Conclusion: Initial psychometric and cultural properties suggest that the ADHD-FX is a reliable, valid, and culturally appropriate measure to assess functional impairment related to ADHD (i.e., difficulties with academic achievement, social competence, and familial relationships) in an at-risk, school-aged population.
