The following questions ask about things you might have done before you turned 15. As I ask the questions, do not tell me your answer. Instead, keep track of your answers on a sheet of paper. If you do not have a sheet of paper, please try to find one now. Whenever I read a behavior that you did put an "X" on the paper. I will be asking you to count the "X’s". Do you have any questions about these instructions?

INTERVIEWER: PUT A CHECK ON THE LINE AFTER EACH QUESTION AS YOU FINISH READING IT.

READ WHEN NECESSARY: Do not tell me your answer—just put an "X" on the paper.
