Note. PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder.
The BASC depression score loaded onto the depression latent construct significantly (B = 15.71, p < 001).
BASC externalizing problems loaded significantly onto the externalizing latent construct (B = 17.51, p < .01) and the National Institute of Mental Health Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children’s (Shaffer et al., 2000) oppositional defiant disorder symptoms (B = 1.13, p < .001).
