This study began in 1998 with all 8th-graders in the Örebro city schools (= 1100). They were followed up 18 months later, in 2000. Both parents and youths served as informants. It was in this study that we developed our measures of parental monitoring efforts and parent-child relationships and also the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory.
