Note: Results are from probit models with robust standard errors clustered on the state. SDQ is the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire scale. Covariates include age, sex, race/ethnicity, parental education, parental age, and parental marital status. Models include a full set of state fixed effects and time fixed effects.
