The BART is a computerized, laboratory-based measure that involves actual risky behavior for which, similar to real-world situations, riskiness is rewarded up until a point at which further riskiness results in poorer outcomes. Lejuez et al. (2002) developed the BART to overcome difficulties inherent in self-report measures of clinical risk taking.

The purpose of the evaluation is to:

Self-administered

Digital task
9 years and above
30 to 45 minutes
One of the instructions of this assessment is, "At the end of the task, you will receive gift certificates in the amount earned in your permanent bank. (Please reach out to the referrer to confirm)." Please inform the client as per your experimental design.
Since the task relies on client self-report, all responses should be verified by the clinician, and a definitive diagnosis is made on clinical grounds taking into account how well the client understood the task, as well as other relevant information from the client.
BART may be used in combination with paper-and-pencil measures of risk-related constructs to improve the assessment of a broad range of real-world risk behaviors (Delinquent Risk Behaviors - alcohol, gambling stealing, Substance Use and Sexual Risk Behaviors - cigarettes and drugs, multiple sex partners, unsafe sex, etc.).
