Behavioral and Psychological Assessment of Dementia (BPAD)
Age range: 30 to 90 years Admin: Informant report Qualification level: B The BPAD is a standardized informant report that assesses the changes in both behavior and mood that are associated with the onset and course of various dementia syndromes. It categorizes symptoms into three clusters (i.e., Psychopathological, Behavioral, Biological) and further, into seven domains (i.e., Perceptual/Delusional, Positive Mood/Anxiety, Negative Mood/Anxiety, Aggressive, Perseverative/Rigid, Disinhibited, Biological Rhythms). The Response Booklet is large-print to simplify completion by individuals with vision difficulties. Scoring is done through the easy-to-use BPAD Software Portfolio (BPAD-SP). After hand-entry of raw scores, the software generates scores that represent current impairment (i.e., CURRENT), past impairment (i.e., PAST), and change in impairment over time (i.e., CHANGE).
