Abstract Objective Behavioral Survey of Traits (BeST; Andrews & Robins, 2010) is a measure used to detect behavior profiles consistent with prenatal alcohol exposure in children. This study sought create control group neurotypical individuals over the age 18, assess reliability adapted BeST Adult-Self-Report (BeST-ASR) and Adult-Other (BeST-AO). Methods A sample (n = 51, paired n 23) adults were recruited participate cross-sectional study. Participants (ages 20–60, M 33.6, SD 14.4) included 13 women 10 men 82.6% identifying as White/European-American, 8.7% Black or African American, Mixed-Race. Each participant provided demographics completed BeST-ASR for themselves, asked another individual who knew them well complete BeST-AO. Results For sample, total score (M 49.5, 12.9) BeST-AO 23.5, =10.8) calculated. No significant differences found gender on screeners. scores significantly different (ASR 51.3, AO 23). Measures internal consistency produced Cronbach’s Alpha (α 0.84) 0.89) Conclusion The an established screen FASD. adult screeners have high sample. Differences evaluated between self other needs further study, which probation (Mushlitz, 2019). Overall, encouraging warrants understand
