QBCheck

Understanding QBCheck

QBCheck is a computerized assessment designed to measure certain behaviors and performance patterns associated with attention difficulties. During the assessment, information is collected while you complete structured computer-based tasks.

The results are not intended to diagnose ADHD on their own. Instead, they give your provider another source of information to consider alongside your symptoms, history, and clinical evaluation.

What the Assessment Looks At

QBCheck focuses on several areas commonly considered during an ADHD evaluation:

• Attention: How consistently you maintain focus during structured activities
• Impulsivity: How you respond and control responses during the assessment
• Activity: Movement and activity patterns while completing the tasks

Looking at these areas together can provide additional context when attention-related concerns are being evaluated.

Why Objective Information Can Be Helpful

Attention and concentration difficulties can occur for many reasons, including other behavioral health concerns. Objective assessment information can therefore complement the information gathered through conversations, questionnaires, and clinical history.

QBCheck may provide your provider with measurable performance information that can be considered when developing a more complete understanding of your concerns.

What Your Appointment May Involve

Before the assessment, your provider will explain the process and determine whether QBCheck is appropriate for your situation.

During the assessment, you will complete computerized tasks in a setting designed to minimize distractions. The assessment typically takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

Afterward, your provider reviews the available results as part of your broader evaluation.

Understanding Your Results

QBCheck is not a standalone diagnostic tool, and the results do not determine your diagnosis or treatment by themselves.

Your provider considers the assessment findings together with information such as your reported symptoms, medical history, developmental or behavioral history, and other clinical observations. This broader evaluation helps inform appropriate next steps.

Using QBCheck as Part of Your Care

The purpose of QBCheck is to add another source of information to the ADHD evaluation process. When used appropriately, objective assessment data can help your provider better understand attention and activity patterns and consider how they fit within your overall clinical picture.

At Guarded Mind Psychiatry LLC, the assessment is incorporated into individualized psychiatric care rather than used as a replacement for professional evaluation.
