Abstract EN
Background.
The Barkley Adult Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Rating Scale-IV (BAARS-IV) was developed, and it demonstrated good psychometric properties.
The BAARS-IV includes 27 questions on the symptoms of adult ADHD.
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the psychometric testing of the Persian version of BAARS-IV among the elderlies in Tabriz City.
Method.
This cross-sectional study was conducted in Tabriz City—in the west of Iran—in 2015 via enrolling of 121 old-aged people.
We did the process of translation and adaptation of BAARS-IV and examined its concurrent validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.
Result.
The BAARS-IV demonstrated good internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
Correlations between the BAARS-IV and the CAARS-S: SV were high and evidence supporting concurrent validity was revealed.
Cronbach’s alpha for the overall scale and subscales stood at 0.89, 0.81, 0.66, 0.56, and 0.82, respectively.
Conclusion.
The Persian BAARS-IV showed acceptable reliability and validity.
BAARS-IV was determined to be composed of internally consistent and psychometrically sound items.
