gSEM was used to cluster 14 traits correlated with CanUD. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated four factors fit the data best. Factors fit mostly into categories that we designated as functional impairment (factor 1), impulsivity and risk taking (factor 2), psychopathology (factor 3) and substance dependence (factor 4). CanUD fit best (and strongly) in the substance dependence cluster. FTND fit into factors for functional impairment and substance dependence. Suicide attempts fit into functional impairment, impulsivity and risk taking, and psychopathology. Numbers outside the parenthesis are correlation coefficients between factors. Numbers inside parenthesis are stadard errors of means. Smoke init, initiation of regular smoking; GAD, generalized anxiety disorder; OUD, opioid use disorder.
