The BAARS-IV also includes a section of items for assessing a subtype of ADHD known as sluggish tempo (SCT) often referred to as the inattentive subtype or as ADD by clinicians. Designed to identify the most useful items for the assessment of deficits in executive functioning (EF) in daily life activities in adults. The manual describes the development history, normative data, psychometric properties, and scoring and interpretation of the BAARS, as well as its clinical use for adults ages 18-81.
