Abbreviations: Ref = reference category; aPR = adjusted prevalence ratio; CI = Confidence interval; OCD = obsessive-compulsive disorder; ID = intellectual disability.

a

Intellectual disability status was not included due to correlation with child sex (rs = −0.420, p < .0001).

b

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.

c

Participants with missing data for one or more variables included in the table were excluded from the models (n = 116/830).

d

Regression models adjusted for all other variables included in the table.

e
