aTable entries are means with standard deviations in parentheses; scale scores have been transformed to range from 0 to 100 with high scores indicating better health

bMean differences are entered as child-reported scores minus parent-reported scores for each measure with 95% confidence intervals for mean differences in parentheses; statistical significance is based on F-statistic using one-way ANOVA, adjusting for parental age, education, race, number of the child’s siblings, extent of sibling illness, child’s age, and number of the child’s health problems

cEffect size (mean difference expressed as a proportion of the pooled standard deviation)

dIntra-class correlation coefficients for agreement between child and parents scores on each measure (estimated using one-way random effects models and method of moments); scores < .40 are considered poor agreement39

ePain was transformed such that higher score indicates less pain
