Note. PPP = positive predictive power, NPP = negative predictive power, OPP = overall predictive power,

a

measure was administered when children were 3 years old,

b

measure was administered when children were 4 years old. For analyses, children with ADHD were coded as 1 and children with ADHD+ODD were coded as 0.
