Overview

Longitudinal study compares irritability in youth and caregivers, revealing sex differences and highlighting youth perspectives.

Key Points

  • High irritability was reported in 5.1% of youth, while only 1.6% of caregivers reported the same.
  • Agreement between caregiver and youth reports on irritability trajectories was low, with Cohen’s κ = 0.09, p<.001.
  • Girls showed a notable discrepancy, with only 3.9% of caregivers recognizing high irritability reported by the youth.
  • These results emphasize the need to consider youth self-reports to fully understand irritability development.
