Note. CDRS = Child Depression Rating Scale (Poznanski et al., 1984), the cutoff is commensurate with “clinical symptoms.” MASC-10 = Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, the cutoff T-score was selected to capture the ‘slightly elevated’ through to the ‘very elevated’ range (March, Sullivan, & Parker, 1999). SSS = Sensation Seeking Scale (Russo et al., 1993), the cutoff correspond to at or above one standard deviation over the normative average (Stephenson, Hoyle, Palmgreen, & Slater, 2003). K-SADS = Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children (Kaufman et al., 1997). CBCL = Child Behavior Checklist (Becker, Ramsey, & Byars, 2015), which asks the parent if their child does “worse”, “average”, or “better” than other teens their age or if the teen is “failing”, “below average”, “average” or “above average”. PHQ-15 = Physical Health Questionnaire-15, the cutoff corresponds to ‘minimal somatic symptom severity’ through to the ‘high somatic symptom severity’ range (Kroenke, Spitzer, & Williams, 2002). BMI = Body Mass Index, the cutoff corresponds to 1 standard deviation above the mean.
