The Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale-IV BAARS-IV offers an essential tool for assessing current ADHD symptoms and domains of impairment as well as recollections of childhood symptoms. Directly linked to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, the scale includes both self-report and other-report forms for example, spouse, parent, or sibling. Not only is the BAARS-IV empirically based, reliable, and valid, but it is also exceptionally convenient to use. The long version takes the average adult 5-7 minutes to complete, and the Quick Screen takes only 3-5 minutes. Special features include a section of items assessing the newly identified symptoms of sluggish cognitive tempo, also known as the inattentive-only subtype of ADHD. Complete instructions for scoring and interpreting the scale are provided. pbQUICK VIEWbbrbWhat does it do b Assesses current ADHD symptoms and domains of impairment, plus recollections of childhood symptoms.brbAge Rangeb 18-89brbAdministration Time b Long Form 5-7 minutes.
