Note. CM = child maltreatment. Placement only = placement for maltreatment only. Comparison group for both “placement only” and “placement for CM & delinquency” is “no-placement”. Beta = standardized coefficient; SE = standard error; CI = confidence interval; CFI = comparative fit index; TLI = Tucker-Lewis index; RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation. Analyses controlled for participants’ age, sex, and race.
