A

Kendall’s tau correlations were used based on non-normal distributions of psychiatric symptoms, which were from parent-reports using the Semi-Structured Assessment of the Genetics of Alcoholism; and child-reports using the Dominic-R, respectively.

B

Discriminant validity; a negative correlation between the YRI and this “protective factor” is expected. FCU=Family Check-Up. All correlations p<.01.

SDQ=Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. FCU=Family Check-Up.
