There are two administration formats available for the CAARS 2: online and paper. Both formats are accessed and scored online (meaning that access to a computer or other digital device is essential to manage the administration of the assessment). See chapter 3, Administration and Scoring, for more information

The administration and scoring methods described in this manual are available through the MHS Online Assessment Center+. However, users who access the CAARS 2 through integrations with Global partner systems/platforms or through electronic health records/management systems, will be interacting with a non-MHS online administration portal. Refer to the portal provider’s documentation for information on the administration and scoring of the CAARS 2.
