The adolescents were given the self-administered rating scale for pubertal development (Carskadon et al., 1993). Pubertal category scores for boys were based on body hair growth, voice change, and facial hair growth. Scores for girls were based on body hair growth, breast development, and menarche. Boys and girls were classified as pre-pubertal (Tanner 1), early pubertal (Tanner 2), mid-pubertal (Tanner 3), late pubertal (Tanner 4), or post-pubertal (Tanner 5) (Carskadon and Acebo, 1993), with stages in our sample ranging from 1 to 4. Demographic data appear in Table 1.
