Method evidence record

Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale

The Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale (BAARS-IV) is a 27-item self- or observer-report measure of ADHD symptoms and executive function deficits in adolescents and adults. Developed by Russell Barkley and colleagues, the BAARS operationalizes ADHD beyond the traditional inattention and hyperactivity domains to include executive function deficits (working memory, organization, time management, emotional regulation) that are prominent in adolescent and adult ADHD. It is widely used in clinical and research settings for screening, diagnosis, and outcome measurement in ADHD treatment.
