MHS is Discontinuing the use of ALL CAARS Online Products on MAC+
This discontinuation will affect all CAARS products, including the self and observer forms. In addition, these products will no longer be available for administration, response collection, scoring, and report generation. All customers can still access previously administered tests and reports.
What happens after May 31, 2025?
Please complete all pending assessments before May 31, 2025. We strongly encourage all customers transition to the CAARS 2, a comprehensive revision of the original CAARS, before May 31, 2025.
What do I need to do before May 31, 2025?
After May 31, 2025, you will NOT be able to administer, enter responses, score, or generate reports for any new CAARS form on MAC+. You will need to re–administer the Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scales 2nd Edition (CAARS 2) to secure and generate reports.
What will happen to the CAARS reports previously generated?
You will be able to re–generate previously scored reports on MAC+. To generate the report, please ensure that CAARS is enabled on MAC+.
How do I transition to CAARS 2?
All customers with CAARS in their MAC+ account have access to CAARS 2; however, you must first enable the product for the admin and sub–users before you can use CAARS 2.
What happens to my online CAARS inventory after May 31, 2025?
For existing CAARS users, any unused online CAARS inventory (profile and interpretative report) will automatically be converted to CAARS 2 uses on May 31, 2025. The CAARS 2 uses will then become available on MAC+, but as a reminder, you must enable the product for the admin and sub–users before you can use CAARS 2.
Can I return unused CAARS online products?
No, CAARS online products have been unavailable for purchase since October 31, 2024, and are, therefore, outside the MHS return window. All CAARS online inventory within your MAC+ account will be converted to CAARS 2 uses on MAC+.
