Abstract: Let $q$ be a prime power and $n,r$ integers such that $rmid{q}^n-1$. An element of $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ of multiplicative order $(q^n-1)/r$ is called emph{$r$-primitive}. For any odd prime power $q$, we show that there exists a $2$-primitive element of $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ with arbitrarily prescribed $mathbb{F}_q$ trace when $ngeq3$. Also we explicitly describe the values that the trace of such elements may have when $n=2$. A feature of this amended version is the reduction of the discussion to extensions of prime degree $n$.
