TL;DR
Signs of disturbance were predictable over a 6-year period despite the diversity of a national sample, and the Delinquent Behavior and Attention Problems syndromes, plus stressful experiences, predicted the most signs.
Abstract
Signs of disturbance were predictable over a 6-year period despite the diversity of a national sample. Previous manifestations of certain signs were modest predictors of the same signs. The Delinquent Behavior and Attention Problems syndromes, plus stressful experiences, predicted the most signs. Sex differences in predictors argue against generalizing findings and inferences from one sex to the other.
