The Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Questionnaire (SNAP-IV) Rating Scale is a revised version of the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham (SNAP) Questionnaire that utilizes the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder, rated by caregiver or professionals. It comprises three subscales: Inattention, Hyperactivity/Impulsivity, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. The score of each item is rated with a 4-point Likert scale (0 = not at all, 3 = very much).
