Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) Test - Symptoms and Signs

psychopathology
adhd

When adults present with suspected ADHD, a retrospective appraisal of childhood symptoms can be clinically informative. The Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) is a self-report measure designed to support this history-taking by focusing on behaviors and emotional characteristics before age 12.

The respondent rates a set of statements based on recall of childhood functioning, which can help clarify whether current concerns are consistent with longstanding patterns. Because it relies on retrospective memory, results should be interpreted in the context of the individual’s recall capacity and corroborating information when available.

The measure contains 25 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. The Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) may be used to supplement clinical assessment and, when appropriate, research screening; it should not be used as a standalone basis for diagnosis.
