  1. Note: Symptom load is measured by using Youth Self Report (YSR, Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment), Total Problem T-score, with scores ≥ 60 as borderline and clinical range, and < 60 as normal range. SD = Standard Deviation, CI = Confidence Interval
  2. a Psychiatric disorders include both primary and additional diagnoses
  3. b Borderline/clinical range
  4. c Confidence intervals and tests for differences between girls and boys were based on Student’s t-test for independent samples
