Allows Adults and Those Closest to Them to Rate Their Executive Functions in Everyday Settings

The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function®, Second Edition–Adult Version (BRIEF2A) is a standardised rating scale that allows adults and knowledgeable informants (caregivers, adult children, partners/spouses) to rate executive function or self-regulation in that adult’s day-to-day setting. This allows clinicians to gather information from multiple sources, better equipping them to evaluate the complexities of executive function.

Now developed with the three-factor model found in the BRIEF2, which characterises executive function deficits more clearly, the BRIEF2A offers new multirater and progress monitoring reports that allow for comparison between self and informant or over time, providing more valuable information to clinicians and leading to more targeted interventions.

The BRIEF2A informant report is beneficial when assessing clients exhibiting cognitive deficits due to certain diagnoses (e.g., TBI, stroke, dementia) because it helps address concerns the clinician may have about the client’s ability to reliably rate their own executive function. 

The BRIEF2A has three indexes: Behavior Regulation, Emotion Regulation, and Cognitive Regulation with nine subscales.

Key Features

  • More reliable. The BRIEF2A has fewer items (75 to 70), and an updated normative sample.
  • More accurate. Updated to the 3-factor model found in the BRIEF2.
  • More applicable. Populations are living longer than ever before; the extended age range (up to 99 years) meets the demand for more assessment tools to evaluate older adults.
  • New reports. The new multirater and progress monitoring reports identify differences between raters and over time.

Administer, Score and Report online using PARiConnect

PARiConnect is a secure Internet platform that enables users to administer various PAR assessments and receive reports online. 

Score reports provide scoring and validity information only. Interpretive reports provide scoring and validity information plus in-depth descriptions of assessment results.

The BRIEF2A conveniently offers combined administration and report options (i-Admins and score report; i-Admins and interpretive report).

If purchasing an eManual, please read the eManual FAQs below.

New Multirater and Progress Monitoring Reports

The Multirater Report allows the clinician to compare one self-report and one informant report on the same client. The report presents the scores side-by-side and graphs both sets of scores on a single profile, with indication of which scales and indexes have significant differences between raters as well as base rates of those differences in the normative samples. 

The Progress Monitoring Report provides these comparisons for ratings completed by the same rater on the same client over time, allowing you to compare two to four time points per report. 

Both are available at no additional charge once each set of ratings has been scored. 

  • The normative sample for the BRIEF2A consists of 1,637 individuals for the Self-Report Form and 1,605 individuals for the Informant Report Form.
  • The BRIEF2A Professional Manual includes profiles and base rates of scale elevations for adults with ADHD, ASD, LD, schizophrenia spectrum disorder, mild TBI with persisting symptoms, moderate to severe TBI, and Parkinson’s disease.

Why does the BRIEF2A include two different retest samples?

  • The short retest sample (2-4 weeks) provides evidence for test–retest reliability of ratings, and it can be used to calculate reliable change indices (RCIs) over a short period, such as for acute effects of medication.
  • The longer retest sample (4-6 months) was used to create RCIs for a more clinically relevant retest timeframe, such as those used to evaluate response to therapeutic intervention or rehabilitation. BRIEF2A progress monitoring reports use the longer retest interval for flagging significant differences in ratings over time.
