-specific

Hi
What does component-specific mean in:
"The effects were maintained at 1-year follow-up and were associated with component-specific changes in parent behaviors and child behaviors."
?May I omit '-specific'?

You cannot omit the suffix, though I cannot tell you what precisely what is meant in this science. A 'component-specific' change means a change related to specific component, NOT a change in the component itself.
