Most studies (76%) involved multiple assessors, including children, parents, and observers (13%) [ 45 , 74 , 81 , 103 , 108 ]; children and parents (5%) [ 84 , 105 ]; children and observers (55%) [ 72 , 75 , 76 , 78 , 83 , 85 , 86 , 88 , 91–93 , 95–100 , 102 , 104 , 106 , 107 ]; parents and observers (3%) [ 87 ]. A few studies involved single assessors entailing observers (18%) [ 73 , 79 , 80 , 82 , 89 , 90 , 101 ] or children (3%) [ 77 ].…”
