Note: Child disruptive behavior symptom status (three or more symptoms) and the covariates (child age, sex and cognitive functioning; family risk index; and observed problematic parenting) were entered in the first step, with DB-DOS domain within context scores entered in the second step. For presentation of full regression models, see Table 3a in the online-only Article Plus content for this article (www.jaacap.com). OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
