*

Significant at the .05 level, two-sided test.

a

Models were estimated using logistic regression with severity defined as a score of 7–10 on any of the 4 subscales on the Sheehan Disability Scale among those with a 12-month diagnosis

b

Model included all childhood SES variables and controlled for age category, time since onset, sex, race, and diagnosis category.

c

Model included additional covariates for the 11 CAs.

d

n1=the number of disorders included in the analysis.

e

Conduct disorder is not included as the Sheehan scale was not administered for conduct disorder.
