*
Confounders included sex, housing tenure, maternal education, maternal depressive symptoms, parents' alcohol use, conduct problems at age 4 years, being bullied from age of 12 to 16 years, cannabis and cigarette use at age 16 years, and depressive symptoms at age 16 years.
†
All analyses for the linear slope adjust for the latent intercept (at age 18 years).
