CBCL composite scaleb	Composite T scores		Clinical index variable scores
	B (95% CI)	P value	OR (95% CI)c	P value

Abbreviations: CBCL, Preschool Child Behavior Checklist; MUF_SG, maternal urinary fluoride adjusted for specific gravity; OR, odds ratio.

^a Calculations are based on a total of 229 participants. B values and ORs are presented according to an IQR (ie, 0.68 mg/L [to convert to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.05263]) increase in MUF_SG. Analyses were adjusted for maternal age, prepregnancy body mass index, ethnicity by nativity, maternal education, household income, maternal cohabitation, and child sex.

^b For clinical composite index scores, normal = 0 and borderline clinical or clinical = 1. Higher CBCL scores indicate more symptoms of neurobehavioral problems.

^c ORs reflect the odds of having a score in the borderline clinical or clinical range compared with the normal range.

^d Denotes statistical significance.
