“…First, early conduct problems predict later internalizing problems (Keiley, Bates, Dodge, & Pettit, 2000; Lee & Hinshaw, 2006; Moilanen, Shaw, & Maxwell, 2010), especially among girls (Diamantopoulou, Verhust, & van der Ende, 2010; Lee & Bukowski, 2012; Lechter, Sanson, Smart, & Toumbourou, 2012). Furthermore, as considerable evidence attests, adolescent internalizing problems are associated with poor overall functioning in adulthood, as well as continuing internalizing problems, relationship problems, educational underachievement, substance use, poor self-esteem, and lower quality of life (e.g., Herrenkohl et al, 2010; Lewinsohn, Rohde, Seeley, Klein, & Gotlib, 2003; Steinhausen, Haslimeier, & Metzke, 2006; Visser, van der Ende, Koot, & Verhulst, 2000; Vujeva & Furman, 2011; Yaroslavsky Pettit, Lewinsohn, Seeley, & Roberts, 2013). …”
