Subject: Vanderbilt form - see inside. Found on Google.

It is recommended that narrow band scales be used in conjunction with questionnaires that assess social and educational impairment and screen for the presence/absence of comorbid psychiatric conditions. Tools that have been developed for efficient use by primary care clinicians in children and adolescents include:
Vanderbilt form: comprehensive form that screens for symptoms, impairment and comorbidity (Wolraich et al., 2003 [C], Wolraich et al., 1998 [C]). Available in the American Academy of Pediatrics/National Initiative for Children’s Health Quality (AAP/NICHQ) ADHD Practitioners’ Toolkit.
Combination of the Conners Scales + DSM-IV checklist + comorbidity screening
For adolescents: add Conners'-Wells' Adolescent Self-Report Scale to one of the above options.

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google

Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary.  There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.


As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true). 


When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong. 


So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.
