Summary | Following several years of collaboration, the Czech version of the "Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults" (DIVA-5) (1) has been completed and published. The Czech translation and adaptation of DIVA-5 was carried out by a team from the Department of Addictology of the 1st Faculty of Medicine of Charles University and the General University Hospital in Prague (www.adiktologie.cz) as part of the Progres Q06 programme aimed at supporting the development of psychological sciences.
The Czech adaptation of DIVA-5 was conducted by Lenka Šťastná and Michal Miovský, and the translation was performed by Jiří Bareš. Based on the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, DIVA-5 is the first Dutch structured interview for ADHD in adults.
The DIVA Interview, developed by J. J.
S. Kooij and M.
H. Francken (2), follows up on the previous semi structured interview to assess ADHD in adults.
