Predictors of Patient Satisfaction with the Feedback After aNeuropsychological Assessment

An increasing number of adults in general psychiatry are referred for assessment regarding Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The aim of this study was to investigate patients' recollections of satisfaction with the feedback after a neuropsychological assessment, measured by the Assessment Questionnaire (AQ). The results showed that the patients generally had a low level of satisfaction with this feedback, and a low level of satisfaction was especially related to low self-esteem. The results indicate a need for more empirical studies of how assessments should be designed in order to increase satisfaction.
