The weighted percentage is reported based on number of records. WD, weighted; SE, standard error; AI, American Indian; AN, Alaskan Native; NHPI, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander; ADHD, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder; CIS, Columbia Impairment Scale. The c-statistic of the final model is 0.78. 0.2% of the data (N = 85) were not used for the final analysis due to missing values.
