Online CAARS 2 Form (pkg 5)

The Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scales 2nd Edition (CAARS™ 2) is a measure that provides improved accuracy, greater insight, and enhanced utility for assessing and managing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults.

The Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS™; Conners, Erhardt, & Sparrow, 1999), first published more than 20 years ago, has played a crucial role in ADHD assessments in adults for over two decades.

Enhanced Content

• A new, comprehensive Response Style Analysis section has been added to improve the ability to detect problematic response styles, including enhanced validity scales to capture invalid responding.
• Addition of research-based item-level indicators to screen for issues that may require clinical follow-up (suicidality, self-harm, anxiety, depression).
• In addition to retaining the best-performing items from the original CAARS, dozens of new rationally derived and empirically evaluated items were added to the Content Scales, and the scale structure has been updated.
• The DSM Symptom Scales have been updated and aligned with current DSM symptom criteria.
• The updated CAARS 2‒ADHD Index, derived from advanced statistical techniques, aims to optimize its accuracy in discriminating between individuals with and without ADHD.
