LOINC description : The Strengths and Weaknesses of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms
and Normal Behavior Scale (SWAN) is an 18-question parent or teacher rating scale
to assess for the indication of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children.
Weaknesses are scored as positive and the strengths are scored as negative because
the usual ratings (i.e., in the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham (SNAP)) are ratings of symptom
severity. This keeps the average rating-per-item of the SWAN aligned with the average
rating-per-item of the SNAP if the negative item ratings of the SWAN are set to 0
before averaging the items.;
