![]() ![]() Parent-report measures are clinically useful in predicting alcohol exposure regardless of ADHD. Parent-report was not correlated with neuropsychological performance in the clinical groups and may provide unique information about neurobehavior. These findings confirm compounded behavioral, but not neuropsychological, effects in the AE+ group over the other clinical groups. Discriminant function analysis indicated the BRIEF accurately classifies groups. For neuropsychological measures, results indicated main effects of Exposure and ADHD, but no interaction. ![]() For parent ratings, multivariate analyses of variance revealed main effects of Exposure and ADHD and an interaction between these factors, with significant differences between all groups on nearly all BRIEF scales. Primary caregivers completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). ![]() Neuropsychological measures of EF, including the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS), were administered to four groups of children (8–16 years): alcohol-exposed with ADHD (AE+, n=80), alcohol-exposed without ADHD (AE−, n=36), non-exposed with ADHD (ADHD, n=93), and controls (CON, n=167). This study examined the relation between parent and neuropsychological measures of EF and whether parent ratings aid in differential diagnosis. This overlap may hinder clinical identification of alcohol-exposed children. Prenatal alcohol exposure and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) result in behavioral issues related to poor executive function (EF). ![]()
