Table 3.

Results from four separate logistic regression analyses for each scoring method on clinical CBCL scores and treatment status, taking the identification by the PCH into account (n = 707); adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI), for identification by PCH and the SDQ scoring method
