TABLE 4.
Comparison of Present Sample With Previous Reports of Population-Normed Internalizing Scores for children with GID24
| Current Sample (n = 73) | Toronto (n = 343) | Utrecht (n = 123) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean age | 7.7 y | 7.2 y | 8.1 y |
| Sample | Transgendera | GIDb | GIDb |
| Measure of internalizing | PROMISc | CBCL | CBCL |
| Mean internalizing t score | 52.2 | 60.8 | 64.1 |
Both the PROMIS and CBCL are normed such that the population mean is t = 50 and SD is 10. CBCL, Child Behavior Checklist; PROMIS, Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System.
a
The current participants were transgender, socially transitioned, and prepubescent.
b
Participants in both the Toronto and Utrecht samples either met criteria for GID or showed subthreshold symptoms of GID.
c
To compute an internalizing score for the PROMIS, depression and anxiety scores were averaged.
