Note: Results reflect weighted person‐year level data. Models include time intervals and data stacks (if it is a sub‐group model) as controls. To avoid prediction of the first onset of any individual mental disorder within each sub‐group, the analysis sample for each sub‐group was created by stacking the person‐year sample for each mental disorder within each sub‐group on top of each other (see Table 1), for a total of 4 data stacks measuring any anxiety, 2 data stacks for any mood, and 6 data stacks measuring any dx. Dummy variables for n‐1 stacks were included as controls in each sub‐group model. For Time‐varying education, Low refers to those who have Preparatory School or less as their highest education; Low Average ‐ Secondary School; High Average ‐ Diploma; High ‐ Bachelor's and more.
Disorder was only assessed in the Part 2 sample (n = 2583).
