Table 1. Characteristics of the study population and distribution of the social-emotional problems, measured by Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ:SE), using the cut-off scores of ≥50 and ≥59.

Table 2. Associations between social-emotional problems, measured by Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ:SE), and social characteristics using multiple logistic regression with the cut-off scores of ≥ 50 or ≥59, respectively.

Figure 2. Associations between social-emotional problems, measured by Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ:SE), and social characteristics. Results of a multiple ordered logistic regression where the odds ratios describe the relationship between the ASQ:SE levels; below the cut-off 50, 50 to below 59, or 59 and above. The dots present Odds Ratios (OR) and the horizontal lines crossing the dots illustrate the 95% Confidence Intervals (CI).
