Abbreviations: Ref = reference category; aPR = adjusted prevalence ratio; CI = Confidence interval; OCD = obsessive-compulsive disorder; ID = intellectual disability.
Intellectual disability status was not included due to correlation with child sex (rs = −0.420, p < .0001).
Bolded values indicate statistically significant results, where the confidence interval does not include 1. Borderline significant results, defined as 0.97 to 1.03, were also bolded.
Participants with missing data for one or more variables included in the table were excluded from the models (n = 116/830).
Regression models adjusted for all other variables included in the table.
