The construct and criterion validities of the parent version of the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) were evaluated in a sample of 100 6- to 16-year-old children with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Maximum-likelihood factor analysis identified two latent constructs that largely replicated the factor structure reported for the standardization sample, with the notable exception that the Inhibit scale covaried primarily with the metacognition factor and not with behavioural regulation factor. Only the former factor demonstrated evidence for sensitivity to the severity of TBI. Results on both factors were affected by a premorbid history of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or other out-patient psychiatric treatment. It is concluded that the BRIEF has construct and criterion validity in the evaluation of children with TBI but that findings on this instrument can only be interpreted within the context of review of the child's premorbid history.
行为评定量表的家长版本（BRIEF）在 100 名 6 至 16 岁创伤性脑损伤（TBI）儿童的样本中进行了构建和效标效度评估。最大似然因子分析确定了两个潜在的结构，这些结构在很大程度上复制了标准化样本报告的因子结构，值得注意的是，抑制量表主要与元认知因素相关，而不是与行为调节因素相关。只有前一个因素显示出对 TBI 严重程度的敏感性。这两个因素的结果都受到注意缺陷/多动障碍或其他门诊精神治疗的病前史的影响。结论是，BRIEF 在评估 TBI 儿童时具有结构和效标效度，但该工具的发现只能在审查儿童病前史的背景下进行解释。
