The effect of antisocial behaviour on popularity was stronger for boys.Conclusion: Findings support the universality of the relationship between prosocial and antisocial behaviours with popularity.

Groups were compared on: cognitive/functional abilities; physical/mental health; substance misuse; independent living; legal involvement; and recommendations post-diagnosis.
