  1. an’s vary by domain due to item responses and not all children take medication. bFor anxiety, depression, anger and peer relations, the subscale score represents the PROMIS T-score. cSDS standard deviation score, calculated using mean and SD from reference data. dp values have been adjusted for multiple comparisons using false discovery rates; significance has been assigned at adjusted p < 0.05. *p < 0.05, compared to SDS of zero. All p values have been adjusted for multiple comparisons
