aWe converted the raw scores of the seven syndrome scales to T-scores to compare each child to a normative sample of children, and dichotomized the children in two outcome groups for each syndrome: borderline or clinical (T-score ≥ 65), or normal (T-score < 65). The Internalizing and Externalizing scales are not truncated because very few children have extremely low scores owing to the large number of problem items on these composite scales (Achenbach and Rescorla 2001).
