Qualitative Interviews on Executive Functioning in Dutch Juvenile Justice Interventions

13 in-depth interviews with clinicians from four Dutch juvenile justice institutions explore the role of executive functioning in forensic clinical practice. The study, authored by Sterre L. van Haeringen and published on figshare in 2026, uses thematic analysis to identify four themes on the limited and implicit integration of neuropsychological knowledge. This 671.6 KB document provides insights into challenges and opportunities for translating cognitive science into youth care.

Use Cases

• Analyze qualitative themes on the integration of neuropsychological concepts in clinical decision-making based on the interview results described.
• Study barriers to implementing executive functioning assessments in forensic youth care based on the identified challenges.
• Compare implicit versus explicit use of cognitive explanatory models in juvenile justice interventions based on the study's findings.

Strengths

• Data is based on 13 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with coordinating clinicians, providing detailed qualitative insights.
• The study explicitly identifies four distinct themes describing the current role of executive functioning in practice.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating reuse and analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 671.6 KB size indicates a limited textual scope, likely a single research document.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to its source, being focused solely on four Dutch institutions.
