  2. *Children nominated by their parents as having locally defined behavior problems based on vignette description and affirmation of need for support. ** Children identified by their parents as being “definitely” badmaash (translation: naughty/disobedient) and meeting locally defined criteria for functional impairment (i.e. CFIS > 9)
  3. **Highest classification accuracy was at the maximum score, which yielded 0% sensitivity, and 100% specificity
