Adult Self Report (ASR)

The Adult Self Report (ASR) is part of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) taxonomy and is a validated instrument to assess psychiatric symptoms in both clinical and research settings. The ASEBA self report version for adults 18 to 59 years old includes the syndrome scales Anxious/Depressed, Withdrawn, Somatic Complaints, Thought Problems, Attention Problems, Aggressive Behavior, Rule Breaking Behavior, and Intrusive, the DSM-oriented scales Depressive Problems, Anxiety Problems, Somatic Problems, Avoidant Personality Problems, and Antisocial Personality Problems, the substance use scales Tobacco, Alcohol, Drugs, and Mean Substance Use, the broadband scales Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems, and, optionally, the adaptive functioning scales Friends, Spouse/Partner, Family, Job, Education, and Personal Strengths.

The substance use and adaptive functioning scales are not available in NTR. Two additional syndrome scales (Other Problems and Socially Desirable) and three additional DSM-oriented scales (ADH Problems, Inattention Problems, and Hyperactivity-impulisivty Problems) are available in NTR.
