BRIEF is Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function. BRIEF scores are standardized to mean 50 and standard deviation (SD) 10, with higher scores representing greater executive function problems.

**

SDQ is Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Possible scores range from 0–40. On the total difficulties scale, higher scores represent more difficulties; on the prosocial scale, higher scores represent more favorable prosocial behavior.
