Note: Entries in the table represent the numbers/percentages for categorical variables and group means for continuous variables; the significance for group differences is based on chi-square and univariate F tests, respectively. Subscripts indicate instances where means differed between groups and refer to the first letter of the group. Continuous variables in italics are based on child reports, and others are based on mother reports; child diagnoses are based on both mothers’ and children’s reports.
