Conners Comprehensive Behaviour Rating Scale™ (Conners CBRS™)

The Conners Comprehensive Behaviour Rating Scales (Conners CBRS) is designed to provide a complete overview of child and adolescent concerns and disorders. The Conners CBRS can be used to assess a wide spectrum of behaviours, emotions, academic, and social problems. The Conners CBRS is aligned to the DSM-5™.

ASSESSMENT SCALES

The Conners CBRS is a multi-informant tool composed of three rating forms: one completed by the teacher, one by the parent or caregiver, and one by the individual being evaluated (if they are over the age of 8).

The CBRS consists of the following scales:
