We found that the response group seemed to be less problematic than the non-response groups, because the response group reported significantly higher motivation for treatment scores at admission, U = 896.0, z = −2.52, r = .24, p = .011, and was less likely than the non-response group to show delinquent behavior before admission, χ(1) = 3.7, p = .059.059
