The BRIEF2 ADHD Form uses BRIEF2 scores and classification statistics within an evidence-based approach to predict likelihood of ADHD and determine subtype.

Features and benefits

  • Helps evaluators "rule in" ADHD and "rule out" other explanations for observed behaviors. 
  • Uses scores from BRIEF2 Parent and/or Teacher Forms or PARiConnect reports.
  • Helps inform development of IEP goals. 

Test structure

  • Requires BRIEF2 Parent and/or Teacher Form scores. BRIEF2 Self-Report Form scores are optional and can be used on the DSM-5 Symptom Checklist. 
  • Compares profiles of parent and teacher ratings with profiles of children diagnosed with ADHD–Inattentive type and ADHD–Combined type. 
  • Examines probability of ADHD diagnosis using postive and negative predictive values. 
  • Uses a checklist of BRIEF2 items from Parent, Teacher, and/or Self-Report Forms that align with DSM-5 Inattentive and Hyperactive/Impulsive criteria.
