The Conners' Parent Rating Scale 48 (CPRS-48) contains 5 evaluating subscales, including the conduct problems, learning problems, psychosomatic, impulsiveness/hyperactivity, and anxiety subscales. A total of 48 items are included in the questionnaire, and each item is scored from 0 to 3 (0 represents the best, 3 represents the worst). The final scores of the 5 subscales are defined as the mean scores of the corresponding items: conduct problems (2+8+14+19+20+21+22+23+27+33+34+39)/12; learning problems (10+25+31+37)/4; psychosomatic (32+41+43+44+48)/5; impulsiveness/hyperactivity (4+5+11+13)/4; anxiety (12+16+24+47)/4; and the hyperactivity index (4+7+11+13+14+25+31+33+37+38)/10. Final scores and the five subscales of the CPRS-48 between two groups were compared.
