The ASR is a self-administered instrument that examines diverse aspects of adaptive functioning and problems. The ABCL is a parallel form used to obtain information about the individual being assessed from others who know the individual well, such as a spouse, partner, family member, or friend. Both forms are valuable for assessing adults in a variety of settings such as mental health, forensic, counseling, medical, and substance abuse. The profiles for scoring the ASR and the ABCL include normed scales for adaptive functioning, empirically-based syndromes, substance use, internalizing, externalizing, and total problems. The profiles display scale scores in relation to norms for each gender at ages 18-35 years and 36-59 years. The profiles also include a Critical Items scale, consisting of items that are of particular interest to the clinician. Responses from both forms can be hand-scored. The Manual (i.e., ASEBA Adult Manual [Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment]) provides full documentation for the scales, reliability, and validity, and illustrates numerous clinical and research applications for the instruments. Eight syndromes were derived from factor analyses of the ASR and the ABCL. Both forms have parallel scales for Substance Use, Critical Items, Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems. The eight syndromes are: Anxious/Depressed, Withdrawn, Somatic Complaints, Thought Problems, Attention Problems, Aggressive Behavior, Rule-Breaking Behavior, and Intrusive. Six scales were constructed to have characteristics consistent with DSM-IVTM categories (Depressive Problems, Anxiety Problems, Somatic Problems, Avoidant Personality Problems, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Problems, and Antisocial Personality Problems). Assessment Data Manager (ADM) With the ADM software, you can quickly enter, score, compare, and save data from parent-, teacher-, and self-reports. ADM's cross-informant comparisons help you efficiently integrate multi-source data for evaluations, interventions, and measurement of outcomes. ADM displays cross-informant comparisons of up to eight forms per client, including side-by-side item scores and scale scores from each completed form, correlations between informants, and reports on whether agreement between informants is below average, average, or above average. With ADM, you get precise cross-informant comparisons between parallel problem scores for the CBCL Preschool and C-TRF forms, and also for the CBCL 6-18, TRF 6-18, and YSR 11-18 forms. For adults, the ADM compares scores for the ASR and the ABCL forms; for older adults, the ADM compares scores for the OASR and the OABCL forms.
