AUCc=area under ROC curve (continuous predictor); AUCd=area under ROC curve (dichotomous predictor); FN=false negative; FP=false positive; MDI=mental disorder with impairment; MDSI=mental disorder with severe impairment; NPV=negative predictive value; P/CAPA=preschool age psychiatric assessment (PAPA) or child and adolescent psychiatric assessment (CAPA); PPV=positive predictive value; ROC=receiver operating characteristic, Sens=sensitivity, Spec=specificity.

1

For models with a single predictor, a cut point of x indicates that a score ≥ x will result in a positive MDI or MDSI prediction; for models with multiple predictors, the cut point is not given (see Table 2, footnotes 7 and 8).

2

P/CAPA Estimate and Modeled Estimate refer to prevalence estimates of MDI or MDSI based on P/CAPA determinations and model predictions, respectively. Bias is the difference between modeled and P/CAPA estimates.

3

FP and FN are percentages of weighted false positive and false negative counts, respectively.

4

Sens (ie, sensitivity) is the weighted proportion of P/CAPA MDI or MDSI positive cases also predicted MDI or MDSI positive (ie, positive “hit” rate). Spec (ie, specificity) is the weighted proportion of P/CAPA MDI or MDSI negative cases also predicted MDI or MDSI negative (ie, 1 - “false alarm” rate).

5

PPV is the weighted proportion of predicted MDI or MDSI positive cases that are also P/CAPA MDI OR MDSI positive. NPV is the weighted proportion of predicted MDI or MDSI negative cases that are also P/CAPA MDI or MDSI negative.

6

AUCc is the concordance between the model (with continuous predictor) and P/CAPA MDI or MDSI, and AUCd is the concordance between the model (with predictor dichotomized by the cut point) and P/CAPA MDI or MDSI; AUCd = the average of sensitivity and specificity.

7

See Table 3 for cut points determined for combination of impact item score and SDQ score.

8

Cut point not given, because it would involve multiway tables or a detailed model description and cut point in terms of predicted probabilities.

Example formula: MDI (4-11 years) = if 1/(1 + exp[–(–3.7309 + 2.8261*Obed + 1.1503*Worry + 2.0109*Unhappy + 0.2049*Atten + 0.6565*Impact]) ≥ 0.46940 where Obed(iance), Worry, Unhappy, Adults, and Atten(tion) refer to the 5 items used in the abbreviated SDQ§ and impact refers to a sixth SDQ item.
