  1. * Sensitivity and specificity of CBCL/4-18 broad-band scales compared to related K-SADS-PL final diagnoses according to different CBCL/4-18 T-score cut-off points (N = 78)
  2. a Positive cases on CBCL/4-18 are those with T-scores in the clinical range (> 63)
  3. b Positive cases on CBCL/4-18 are those with T-scores in the clinical/borderline range (≥ 60)
  4. c Negative cases on CBCL/4-18 are those with T-scores in the borderline/normal range (≤ 63)
  5. d Negative cases on CBCL/4-18 are those with T-scores in the normal range (< 60)
  6. e Compared to any psychiatric disorder according to K-SADS-PL final diagnoses
  7. f Compared to any affective/anxiety disorder according to K-SADS-PL final diagnoses
  8. g Compared to any disruptive disorder according to K-SADS-PL final diagnoses
