Note: C-TRF1 is the mean of the C-TRF forms completed by the first chosen criterion reporter (teacher, daycare provider, or other family member) and returned by the mother and C-TRF2 is the mean of the C-TRF forms completed by the second chosen criterion reporter and returned by the mother. Not all mothers returned the forms and fewer returned two completed forms.
