This article describes a performance-based measure of executive
function, the Multiple Errands Test-Revised (MET-R), and examines its ability to
discriminate between people with mild cerebrovascular accident (mCVA) and control
participants. METHOD. We compared the MET-R scores and measures of CVA outcome of
25 participants 6 mo post-mCVA and 21 matched control participants. RESULTS.
Participants with mCVA showed no to minimal impairment on measures of executive
function at hospital discharge but reported difficulty with community integration
at 6 mo. The MET-R discriminated between participants with and without mCVA (p
</= .002). CONCLUSION. The MET-R is a valid and reliable measure of executive
functions appropriate for the evaluation of clients with mild executive function
deficits who need occupational therapy to fully participate in community living.
