From August 2019 to May 2023
<div>Cross-cultural adaptation studies and validation studies</div>
84 additional studies included in updated review; 19 studies included from previous review
<div>This review found that the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function - Preschool Version (BRIEF-P) and BRIEF reduced version compiled by parents had the best scores and very high internal consistency when used to detect executive function deficits in children and adolescents. For the BRIEF-P, Cronbach's alpha fell between 0.75 and 0.97 across 6 studies with internal consistency between 0.09 and 0.81. For the BRIEF-Parent form, Cronbach's alpha fell between 0.86 and 0.93 with internal consistency between 0.89 and 0.94.</div>
