TL;DR: Evaluating parent symptom ratings of 9-10 year olds in the ABCD Study indicated that all factors in both bifactor and second-order models exhibited at least adequate construct reliability and estimated replicability, and the interpretation of such associations in second-orders was ambiguous due to shared variance among factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined associations between regional gray matter volumes (GMV) and psychopathology in a large sample of children with a narrowly defined age range and found that globally smaller GMVs are a nonspecific risk factor for general psychopathology, and possibly for conduct problems and ADHD as well.

TL;DR: In this paper, a latent measure of trauma exposure was derived from DSM-5 traumatic events and related to the brain using structural equation modeling, finding that trauma exposure is associated with thinner cortices in the bilateral superior frontal gyri and right caudal middle frontal gyrus.

TL;DR: There are multiple multivariate approaches to consider as discussed by the authors , and each approach has important effects on the interpretation of the results; however, there are few studies illustrating their potential differences, thus, they are difficult to compare.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the topology of functional networks in association with four bifactor-defined psychopathology dimensions (general psychopathology, internalizing symptoms, conduct problems, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) via the Child Behavioral Checklist in a sample of 3,568 children from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development SM Study (ABCD Study®).
