A result above a screening threshold is a reason to consider the wider evidence and choose a next step, not confirmation of ADHD.

Screening basicsWhy informant input matters in ADHD screening
Input from a partner, relative or teacher can add evidence from another setting, but it is not a vote on whether someone has ADHD.
