Subscales
The SNAP-IV contains 3 subscales:
1. Inattention (items 1–9)
2. Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (Items 10–18)
3. Combined (items 1–18)
To assess youth’s functioning on each subscale, add up the items on the subscale and divide by the number
of items to calculate the mean.

an “excellent response” to treatment.
