The adolescents also varied considerably across several other demographic variables as a
function of their respective sites (see Table 3). As fully expected, they significantly differed
regarding their involvement with the juvenile justice system. Predictably, juvenile detainees
tended to have more than five arrests, a far cry from their clinical counterparts, for whom 87.3%
reported no arrests. Such marked differences produced a very large effect size (d = -2.54).
Age and grade levels remain virtually identical across research settings. Interestingly,
although the groups did not differ in years of education, the detainees predictably faced more
achievement challenges. They lagged behind their partially hospitalized counterparts by
approximately one grade in reading levels (d = 0.39).
