externalizing problems at baseline and at follow-up, compared
to a national sample.
Correlational analyses indicated that SES was positively
associated with parent positive communication variables.
SES was negatively associated with parent report of
internalizing and externalizing symptoms at baseline and
6 months, but not significantly associated with youth selfreported
symptoms. Correlations of symptom reports
between parent and youth informants were significant and
small to moderate, while within informant correlations
from baseline to 6 months were significant and moderate to
large (see Table 1).
