Nominal Logistic Regression Analysis Differentiating Interviewers' Ratings of Youth and Parent Reliability as Informants, Based on Patterns of Discrepancies Between Parent and Youth Reports (n=328)a,b
| Latent profile assignment | OR for interviewer ratings of informant reliability: poor versus good | OR for interviewer ratings of informant reliability: fair versus good |
|---|---|---|
| Interviewer reports of youth reliability | ||
| Covariates | Gender OR=0.51, ns | Gender OR=0.61, ns |
| Ethnicity OR=1.16, ns | Ethnicity OR=0.69, ns | |
| Age OR=0.83, ns | Age OR=0.78, p<0.001 | |
| CGI OR=1.63, p<0.05 | CGI OR=1.34, p<0.05 | |
| Parent reports greater than youth | OR=3.27, p<0.01, CI=1.49, 7.19 | OR=1.79, p<0.05, CI=1.08, 2.98 |
| Youth reports greater than parent | OR=0.30, p<0.01, CI=0.14, 0.67 | OR=0.55, p<0.05, CI=0.33, 0.92 |
| Interviewer reports of parent reliability | ||
| Covariates | Gender OR=0.78, ns | Gender OR=1.26, ns |
| Ethnicity OR=0.37, ns | Ethnicity OR=0.63, ns | |
| Age OR=1.31, p<0.05 | Age OR=1.12, ns | |
| CGI OR=0.80, ns | CGI OR=1.15, ns | |
| Parent reports greater than youth | OR=0.70, ns, CI=0.29, 1.69 | OR=1.08, ns, CI=0.67, 1.76 |
| Youth reports greater than parent | OR=1.43, ns, CI=0.59, 3.46 | OR=0.92, ns, CI=0.56, 1.49 |
OR reflect regressions in which interviewers' reliability ratings were employed as dependent variables (i.e., “Good,” “Fair,” and “Poor,” with “Good” as the reference category), and reporting pattern as the independent variable (i.e., “Youth Reports Greater than Parent” and “Parent Reports Greater than Youth”).
In order to attain OR estimates for both groups, regressions were conducted twice for each rating (i.e., once with “Parent Reports Greater than Youth” coded “0” and once with “Youth Reports Greater than Parent” coded “0”).
OR=odds ratio; CGI=Clinician Global Impressions Severity of Illness score; CI=95% confidence interval for odds ratios; ns=not statistically significant.
