a

Model 1: Means ratios adjusted for sex, age, race, Tanner stage

b

Model 2: Means ratios adjusted for sex, age, race, Tanner stage and other psychiatric diagnoses

c

Diagnoses or symptoms scales exclude DSM-IV sleep-related symptoms

d

Model 2 was not run because results from Model 1 were not significant

Boldface results indicate that the means ratio is significant at p < .05.

SD = Standard deviation; CI = Confidence Interval; NA = not applicable; GAD = Generalized Anxiety Disorder; ADHD = Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Note: Results for specific phobia, agoraphobia, and panic disorder individually are not shown because of their low prevalence, but preliminary analyses suggested that no associations of sleep problems with these disorders would have been identified in Model 2.
