This study assessed the relationship among
specific psychopathological dimensions, coping mechanisms, and metabolic control in a Croatian clinical sample of adolescents with IDDM.
There have been a number of psychometrically oriented studies using latent class analyses on several
psychopathological outcomes, 20 — 22 for distinguishing different classes of
psychopathological symptoms across several
specific types of disorders, such as anxiety and depressive disorder.
