Linear growth curve model fit statistics of models in which all parameters are constrained to be equal and unequal between the sexes in the ABCD cohort (; female ; male ).

| Externalizing | Equal across sexes | 181.4 (19) | 3.2867 | 134.7 (9) | 0.040 (0.035, 0.045) | 0.966 | 0.979 | 0.106 |

Note: Model fit and chi-square difference comparisons between models in which growth factor parameters are constrained or unconstrained across females and males. Growth curve parameters for the unconstrained models can be seen in Figure 1.
