aThe T-score is truncated (Petersen et al. 1993); that is, a score of 50 is assigned to those with percentiles of raw scores ≤ 50 based on a reference population (Achenbach and Rescorla 2001b). bThe syndrome T-scores were dichotomized at T = 65 as the cutoff for the borderline and clinical range; the DSM-oriented anxiety problem scale was dichotomized at 93rd percentile for the borderline and clinical range. cEighty-six children had been assessed via the CBCL at both age time points. |
