The Disruptive Behavior Disorders Rating Scale (DBDRS) is a 45-question screening measure, completed by either parents or teachers, designed to identify symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder in children and adolescents.
Scoring and interpretation

The respondent must choose a response of “pretty much” or “very much” in order for a symptom to be counted as significant.
