Note. ODD = oppositional defiant disorder. Coefficients within the table are mean symptom counts of CD (standard deviations in parentheses) as predicted from the latent ODD classes at previous time points, controlling for sex, race, and baseline (i.e., 6th grade) symptoms of CD (grand mean centered). Within each grade, subscripts indicate results from follow-up individual z-tests determining which pairwise means were significantly different at p < .05 (i.e., a subscript of H indicates a significant difference from the mean in the high class, a M indicates a significant difference from the mean in the medium class, and a L indicates a significant difference from the mean in the low class).
No estimates due to model nonidentification (very low base rate of CD endorsement among adolescents in the Low class).
