ASRS-v1.1-B

Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (Part B Screener)

ASRS-v1.1 Part B is the 18-item follow-up to the Part A ADHD screener, developed by the WHO and Harvard Medical School. It takes about four to five minutes. Lower scores mean fewer hyperactivity and impulsivity symptoms. It uses the same shaded-box scoring as Part A.
