Abstract

Objective. To present the initial metric parameters of the Adult ADHD Self Report Scale V
1.1 abbreviated (ASRS-6) in Peruvian young adult participants.
Material and methods. Observational and cross-sectional study; 70 participants (39 women), from Metropolitan Lima (Peru); 26 in work activity, between 17 and 33 years (average age 21.7), from various professional careers under study.
Results. The internal structure was one-dimensional, with item-test correlations and factor loads greater than .35. The internal consistency reliability was around .64. The correlation
with GHQ and a measure of stress was around .32.
Conclusions. The results were similar to the original Anglo-Saxon study, and they indicate adequate psychometric baseline parameters that support the initial ASRS validation study.
