  • Data are expressed as n (%). Percentages are based on the total n in each row. Unless otherwise indicated, all probabilities are derived from chi-square tests.

  • * Significance obtained from additional comparisons of disorder by CST status across age groups. Finding refers to comparison for the 16- to 17-year age group.

  • By Fisher's exact test (used due to small sample).

  • Breslow-Day test result for homogeneity of the odds ratios is significant for adjustment disorder, nonsignificant for all other variables.
