Recommendation
It would be spiffy if U wd include recommendations for gold standard assessment options (if price and time were no object). These could be helpful for researchers or for feature comparison so that we know if we are losing much information or validity using the free options. Cd B nice 4 U 2 add to See Also section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.94.238.48 (talk) 22:22, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

See also link issue
I noticed that the link to Oppositional Defiant Disorder has multiple issues. The link redirects you to a page that has multiple issues present, is outdated, needs more references to medical sources, and needs clean up dance to meet the quality standards of Wikipedia. I would suggest that you link either or both of the following sources as a Further Reading article about oppositional defiant disorder rather than have the already existing link in see also.

Biederman, J., Spencer, T. J., Newcorn, J. H., Gao, H., Milton, D. R., Feldman, P. D., Witte, M. W. (2007). Effect of comorbid symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder on response to atomoxetine in children with ADHD: A meta-analysis of controlled clinical trial data. Psychopharmacology, 190(1), 31-41.

Keenan, K., Wakschlag, L. S. (2004). [http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.161.2.356 Are oppositional defiant and conduct disorder symptoms normative behaviors in preschoolers? A comparison of referred and nonreferred children.] The American Journal of Psychiatry, 161(2), 356-358.

These articles will tell the wiki viewer more about oppositional defiant disorder and comorbidity with other disorders. I believe this is a better way to incorporate ODD into the wiki page since the current ODD link has various issues.

Links to copies of measures have rotted
Thanks for the work on this! The Vanderbilt is one of the best free scales available for assessing these common and important problems. The links to the copies of the measures at the bottom mostly do not work anymore, because of changes to the external sites -- "link rot". Let's track down new places to get them, and follow the steps to future proof them against link rot (could follow the steps for a permanent link, or send it to an archiving service). Good stuff!
