DIVA-5 is the successor to
DIVA 2.0, the structured Diagnostic Interview for Adult ADHD, and is based on the criteria for ADHD in
DSM-5. DIVA-5 is available in many languages.
DIVA-5 asks about the presence
of ADHD symptoms in adulthood as well as childhood, the chronicity of these
symptoms, and significant lifetime impairments due to these symptoms.
DIVA-5 has been adjusted
for children age 5-17 (Young DIVA-5) and for
people with Intellectual Disability (DIVA-5-ID).
DIVA was first developed in Dutch. As the need for a readily available,
structured, diagnostic instrument for research and clinical assessment became
apparent, translations into other languages were requested. These translations
have been completed and the number of available languages is growing monthly.
Professionals in psychiatry worldwide have increasing access to the interview.
NEW: Due to the fact the American Psychiatric Association has increased the license fee for the use of the DSM-5 criteria 10-fold, we request a once-off payment to enable DIVA Foundation to continue this important work for patients and professionals worldwide. We thank you for your understanding and support.
