Notes. Agreement indicates both parent and youth rated either ‘probably/definitely will’ or ‘probably/definitely will not’ on expectation questions. Group comparison chi-squared analyses were weighted using Wave 2 sampling weights; values in each column not sharing the same subscript letter are significantly different at p < .01 in the two-sided test of equality using Bonferroni correction.
