Notes.

r, Pearson’s correlation coefficient. rpb, Point-biserial correlation coefficient. The rpb was used to assess correlations between PaRCADS, gender and mental health variables.

a

Child and parent gender was coded dichotomously where 1 = male, 2 = female.

b

Child and parent mental health problem and diagnosis were based on parent’s report and were coded dichotomously where 0 = None, 1 = presence of current/history of mental health problem/diagnosis.

c

Parent education level was coded on a 9-point scale following the Australian Qualifications Framework with a higher score representing a higher level of education.

d

Parental concern about child’s risk of depression and anxiety was coded on a 4-point scale where a higher score indicates greater parental concern.
