Using data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 (NLTS2), we examined risk and protective factors associated with post-secondary outcomes among youth with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Results indicate that, compared to their male peers, females with EBD demonstrated higher levels of social and behavioral skills and higher grades. We also discovered discrepancies between teacher reports and female students’ self-reports of academic, social, and behavioral competencies, suggesting females with EBD underestimate their own skills or that teachers are not fully aware of these students’ areas of difficulty. We discuss implications of these results related to existing prevention and intervention strategies for females with EBD.

患有EBD的年轻人在风险和保护因素方面的性别差异：NLTS2的发现

使用来自美国国家纵向过渡研究2（NLTS2）的数据，我们检查了患有情感和行为障碍（EBD）的年轻人与中学后教育成果相关的风险和保护因素。结果表明，与男性同龄人相比，患有EBD的女性表现出更高的社交和行为技能水平以及更高的分数。我们还发现教师报告与女学生的学术，社交和行为能力自我报告之间存在差异，这表明患有EBD的女性低估了自己的技能，或者教师并未完全意识到这些学生的困难领域。我们讨论了与现有的针对EBD女性的预防和干预策略相关的结果的含义。
