It’s actually very simple:

Choose DIVA (DIVA-5, Young DIVA-5 or DIVA-5 ID)

Choose language and make sure you have the right one

Fill in the blancs and take it from there

Make sure you download it within 14 days, otherwise your link and password will expire and you will have to buy a new one

Upon completing your payment, you will receive an email containing a download link and the password that is required to open your PDF. Please store this e-mail securely for future reference. You have two weeks time to download the document.

If you want to download the DIVA again or if you need to retrieve your PDF password, you can use this form by entering the email address associated with your original DIVA order.

Yes, you can! Here are the steps:
You need to contact us to tell us you wish to build the DIVA-5 into your online platform. Once this is done, we will check your algorithm. The costs are € 650 Euro. You then pay us € 4,95 Euro per download once it is in your platform and approved by us. We will send you a contract if you choose this option. To issue the invoice, we need a name and address, if applicable a purchase-order and a VAT-number, so please supply these in your email to ue.retnecavidobfsctd@ofni.

Yes, you can! You can use the DIVA-5 for your staff in the following way in a clinic setting:

1. You inform us how many users you have in your clinic who will be administering the DIVA. You also inform us which DIVA version you want, remember we have 3 versions of the DIVA: Young DIVA-5 for children and adolescents, DIVA-5 for adults, and DIVA-5 ID for those with intellectual disability.
2. We then send you an invoice for the number of users (n). The costs are € 10,- Euro per clinician per DIVA. You purchase one PDF from our website (costing € 10,- Euro). You have two weeks’ time to download the document. Use the document as a template. You use the code that is generated in your direct online purchase for each of your clinicians who will be using it. The clinician can use the DIVA pdf an unlimited number of times. If you have 10 clinicians, the total costs paid to us are € 100,- Euro for which we will send you an invoice.
3. We work on an honesty system, so these codes should not be shared with people outside of the users in your clinic. If more users join your clinic, you let us know and we invoice you for the additional number of users.

Prof. Dr. J.J. Sandra Kooij and Dr. Dora Wynchank have launched an online training for DIVA, and many more educational videos, called the ADHD Powerbank.

Please check this website for more information about short, expert, educational videos about many aspects of ADHD, DIVA training and practical tips for use in daily clinical practice. The videos are in English and French, and informative for both professionals and those who live with ADHD.

The ADHD Powerbank currently offers 30 videos with current state-of-the-art information. There will be updates with many more topics to come. Short previews of many videos are offered for free on the homepage. Please take a look or subscribe to our newsletter to get updates on our new releases: https://www.ADHDPowerbank.com.

1. Yes, you can! But please note, the DIVA needs to be translated from Dutch into your language. There is usually an entry fee of € 2000.- Euro per language, but we are now waiving this fee. We can make a rough translation for you from Dutch into your language using AI. We will send this to you, and you will need to check the words used in the translation are the correct ones used in the treatment and diagnosis of ADHD.
2. If you yourself cannot do this, you will need to find psychiatrist(s) or psychologist(s) who is/are fluent in your language and who can check the words used in the description of the DSM-5 criteria for accuracy. The vocabulary used in the DIVA should match what is currently used by mental health professionals in your language. All colleagues involved in the translation must be added to the Colophon.
3. Once you have checked and corrected the document we send you, you need to email it back to us as an UNFORMATTED Word document.
4. We then use a separate translator to translate your language back into Dutch. We will check the accuracy of the back translation.
5. The references do NOT need to be translated.
6. Please make sure the reference numbers are in the correct place in the introduction text.
7. Please remember that we need a Word document that is UNFORMATTED. In the end, we will create the PDF.
8. We will of course send our PDF back to you to be checked and proofread. We will also send the informed consent document. Please contact us at ue.retnecavidobfsctd@ofni so we can move ahead with the new translation.
9. Once the PDF is published online, it will be your task to spread the word in your country.

Please contact us directly at ue.retnecavidobfsctd@ofni. We can send you an invoice for which we need your full address and, if applicable a purchase-order and a VAT-number. After receiving payment, we will mail you the document.

As a result of the full-scale war in the Ukraine, our Dutch bank has prohibited direct international sales to Russian clients. If you need the Russian version, please contact us directly. NB The Ukrainian translation is being prepared.
