Attention Deficit Disorder with/without Hyperactivity (ADD/ADHD) is present at adulthood with a prevalence estimated around 4% in the general population regardless of culture and language. The Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) is a 61-item questionnaire aimed at assessing ADD/ADHD symptoms while the subject was a child. Such information is needed in the diagnostic process since ADD/ADHD is a neuro-developmental disorder which starts before age 7. Following WHO's guidelines the WURS was translated into French and back-translated into English. 350 subjects filled out the WURS (students in Paris and parents of a child diagnosed with ADD/ADHD in Nice). Its psychometric properties are presented.
