F, ANOVA test of mean differences for each subscale at each time point.

^*

P ≤ .05

^**

P ≤ .01

^***

P ≤ .001.

^†

School function was collected only for participants currently attending school.

^‡

Total score is an average of all items and was calculated for all participants even if the school function score was missing.

^§

Mean values in a given column within each PedsQL subscale with the same superscript letter are significantly different from each other (P ≤ .05).
